The standard rubber scuba diving hose is what you would expect and has been around since the beginning of modern scuba, pretty much unchanged other than improvements in quality. We carry highest quality CE EN250 approved rubber hoses made specifically for scuba diving with chromed brass fittings. We offer rubber hoses for all three different types of applications used in scuba: High Pressure (HP) SPG, Low Pressure (LP) BCD/Jacket/Inflator, and Low Pressure (LP) Regulator. Our standard rubber hoses are Nitrox Ready up to 40% oxygen.
UPGRADE to Miflex Hoses for better performance than these rubber hoses!
Recommendation: In our experience Miflex double-braided polyester hoses are more reliable than rubber hoses. But keep in mind that all SCUBA hoses, both rubber or polyester, will fail sooner or later either due to age, storage conditions or handling. Prior to every dive trip you should always pressurise and inspect your hoses for mechanical damage, corroded fittings, bulges and leaks. We suggest replacing all SCUBA hoses every five years or 500 dives, whichever comes first.

Equipment
Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you'll need a digital underwater camera, plus a computer or other device for downloading and viewing your images. Your PADI Professional may suggest additional equipment and accessories depending on your camera system.
Personal Equipment — You'll need to provide your own bathing suit and towel. For your personal hygiene and comfort, there are some things that we simply choose not to provide you with, and this is more out of concern for your health and well-being than anything else. These include:
- Snorkel — Risk of orally transmitted diseases
- Mask — To prevent masks fogging, divers spit in their masks. Would you like to put on your face something that someone else has recently spat in?
- Gloves — Dermatitis
- Dive Boots — Tinea is a nasty fungal bug that loves to jump from one person to another
- Fins — Complete your own snorkelling kit
If you don't already have them, you can buy these items in our dive shop online or in-store. Our experienced dive shop staff can help you with the right equipment choices.
Rental Equipment — Rental gear is not included in the price. The Scuba Doctor has high-quality BCDs, Regulators with Dive Computers, Scuba Cylinders, Wetsuits and Weight Belts available for hire. See Scuba Equipment Rental for details.
