At Diving Sports Canada, we understand the importance of reliable, top-quality scuba gear. Our online dive shop features one of Canada’s best selections of scuba diving gear and accessories from industry leaders like Cressi, Scubapro, and Apeks. Whether you're searching for scuba masks, snorkels, or full scuba sets, we offer everything you need for safe and comfortable diving in Canada and beyond.
Whether you're a recreational enthusiast or progressing into technical diving, your gear plays a critical role. Most new divers start with essentials like a low-volume scuba mask, a breathable snorkel, and open-heel dive fins. A snug, watertight mask ensures comfort and clarity underwater, while properly fitted fins enhance propulsion and reduce fatigue. Choose a snorkel that’s lightweight, functional, and hydrodynamic to improve your surface swims.
Advanced divers rely on more technical gear: regulators with octopus backups, dive computers, compasses, and gauges, buoyancy control devices (BCDs), and weights. If you're diving in cold water conditions like British Columbia, don't forget to add thermal protection like 7mm wetsuits, drysuits, gloves, hoods, or dive undergarments.

The minimum age to begin scuba diving with PADI is 10 years old. Children aged 10–14 can earn the Junior Open Water Diver certification, which has some depth and supervision limits.
To scuba dive independently, you need to be certified as an Open Water Diver through a recognized organization like PADI, SDI, or NAUI. Discover Scuba Diving programs are available for non-certified beginners under direct instructor supervision.
You’ll need essential gear like a mask, snorkel, fins, a wetsuit or drysuit, BCD (buoyancy control device), regulator, tank, weights, and a dive computer or depth gauge. At Diving Sports, we offer rental gear and complete packages for all levels.
Cold water diving requires specialized gear such as a drysuit for insulation, thick gloves, a hood, and boots to protect against low temperatures. Using a regulator with a cold-water kit is also essential to prevent freezing. We offer all these cold water essentials at Diving Sports.
Drysuits keep you dry by sealing out water, and undergarments provide thermal insulation beneath the drysuit. Undergarments come in different thicknesses and materials depending on water temperature. Together, they keep divers warm and comfortable during cold water dives.
Beginner divers typically start with a high-quality mask, snorkel, and fins. We recommend exploring our scuba gear packages for beginners, which are bundled to provide everything you need at great value.
Choosing the right gear depends on fit, comfort, and your diving environment. Prioritize a snug mask fit, soft foot-pocket fins, and a properly sized BCD. For personalized recommendations, visit our online dive shop or contact our team.
It’s recommended to service your regulator and BCD annually or after 100 dives, whichever comes first. Always rinse gear after use, and inspect it regularly for wear and tear. We offer professional scuba gear servicing onsite.
