Rubber Scuba Hoses
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.
Sydney and NSW Dive Sites
Sydney, NSW, Australia, and NSW generally, has some interesting shore and boat dive sites, most of which are part of the Great Southern Reef which is a more colourful and abundant reef ecosystem than that of the world famous Great Barrier Reef. These resources, put together by the amazing Michael McFadyen, will help you to enjoy them.
