Black Friday is on the horizon, divers! 🤿 If you've been thinking about upgrading your kit, adding something new to your setup or getting ready for your next underwater adventure, now's a good time to start planning.
Whether you're a newly qualified diver building your first equipment collection, a regular underwater explorer looking to upgrade your gear or a keen snorkeller preparing for your next holiday, there's always something worth adding to your diving wishlist.
At Mike's Dive Store, we're getting ready for the Black Friday season. Here's what to think about before your next equipment purchase — and how to make sure you don't miss what's coming.
What's on your dive gear wishlist?
Black Friday is a great excuse to revisit that equipment wishlist you've been putting off. Maybe you've been eyeing up a new dive computer, thinking about upgrading your BCD or looking for a few essentials before your next diving holiday.
Not sure where to start? Think about the equipment you use most, what needs replacing and what would genuinely improve your time underwater.
Dive computers
A dive computer is one of the most important pieces of personal diving equipment. Whether you're newly qualified or have hundreds of dives behind you, choosing a model that suits your experience and planned diving is essential.
Consider features such as display readability, ease of use, nitrox compatibility and whether you'd benefit from air integration or a digital compass.
Masks, fins and snorkelling equipment
Comfort matters underwater, and personal equipment can make a real difference. A well-fitting mask helps minimise leaks, while suitable fins can make moving through the water more comfortable and efficient.
If you're planning a tropical diving holiday, having your own mask and snorkel is also handy for exploring reefs between dives. For UK diving, consider whether open-heel fins and suitable boots would better suit your usual entry conditions.
Wetsuits and exposure protection
The right exposure protection depends on water temperature, dive duration and how easily you feel the cold. When choosing a wetsuit, consider thickness, fit, flexibility and where you dive most often.
A lightweight suit might be ideal for tropical waters, while colder UK conditions call for more substantial protection. It's also worth checking the condition and fit of your existing suit before your next trip.
BCDs and regulators
Thinking about a bigger equipment upgrade? Your BCD and regulator are worth considering carefully.
Different BCD designs suit different preferences and configurations, from traditional jacket styles to back-inflation systems and wings. When choosing a regulator, consider your intended diving conditions, breathing comfort, servicing requirements and compatibility with your existing setup.
