Functionality has to come first when dealing with life-supporting scuba gear. But what if you can have top-tier performance and your own distinct style? We’ve all stood on a dive boat, looking at another diver whose kit looks effortlessly cool and felt a twinge of jealousy. Fortunately, Mike's Dive Store makes personalising your setup easier than ever with Scubapro’s industry-leading modular gear.
Why Divers Want to Personalise Their Dive Gear
Colour-matched kit isn't just about looking good for the underwater photos (though it doesn't hurt). Being able to personalise your dive gear makes it easier to spot your own equipment on a crowded boat, easier to tell your kit apart from your buddy's at a glance, and — let's be honest — it's just more fun to dive in gear that feels like yours. ScubaPro has quietly made this one of the easiest parts of buying their gear, with swappable, colour-specific components built into several of their most popular product lines.
Start With the Mask: ScubaPro Zoom Lite
Most ScubaPro masks come in a handful of colour options, but the Zoom Lite stands out as one of the best-suited for divers who want both performance and personality. Built for recreational and travel divers, it takes the well-loved Zoom mask design and lightens it further with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses, bringing the total weight down to just 0.21 kg.
The lenses carry a factory-applied Anti-Fog Film, so you're not relying on spit or a bottle of defog before every dive, and the low-volume profile makes clearing genuinely easy — useful for newer divers still building confidence underwater.
The Zoom Lite is available in:
- Orange
- Pink
- White
- Black
- Yellow
- Turquoise blue
The integrated buckles are also compatible with optional Comfort Straps, and the frame supports accessories like a HUD mount adapter — so there's room to build on it later.
Regulators Join the Personalisation Game
Regulators have traditionally been the one piece of kit you couldn't really make your own — until now. ScubaPro's C370 second stage, paired with either the MK11 EVO or MK17 EVO 2 first stage, now accepts snap-on colour frames that any diver can fit themselves with nothing more than a flathead screwdriver or a simple pry tool.
The colour frames are made from impact-resistant polymer and are available in Blue, Yellow, White, Turquoise, Pink and Graphite. One important note: these frames only fit the current C370 model with a polymer face plate — they are not compatible with older C370 units that use a metal frame, so it's worth checking which version you're running before ordering.
Both regulator systems share the same customisable C370 second stage, but the first stages behind them are built for different priorities:
- MK11 EVO / C370 — a compact, air-balanced diaphragm first stage in a forged brass body with a double spring layout and thermal fins for heat exchange. It's CE certified to EN250A for all conditions including extreme cold water, and comes as a complete set in White or Graphite.
- MK17 EVO 2 / C370 — built around a sealed, environmentally protected dry chamber with dual-diaphragm sealing and a twin spring layout, making it the better pick for cold or contaminated water. It's also CE certified to EN250A, and comes in standard Graphite.
Modular BCD Mastery: Scubapro Hydros Pro 2
Building on the award-winning legacy of the original, the Hydros Pro 2 sets a new benchmark for modular BCDs. Featuring an ultra-durable, UV-resistant Monprene® gel harness and an all-new Monorail Weight System, it is built to endure countless dives while providing near-zero inherent buoyancy.
Smart-Pack Travel Design: Shoulder and waist straps fold flat against the backplate for compact storage.
Custom Colour Kits: The Scubapro Pocket Lid Sets let you customise standard pockets in eight vibrant colours to match the rest of your kit.
Propulsion with Personality: Go Sport or Seawing Supernova
For divers who want a splash of colour without overthinking it, ScubaPro's Go Sport fins come in a range of colours at a more accessible price point. But if you want to take personalisation further, the Seawing Supernova is where things get genuinely clever.
The Supernova uses a two-piece Socket-Lock Connecting System, meaning the blade and foot pocket are separate components that click together. That modularity means two things for personalisation: you can switch between an open-heel foot pocket and a full-foot pocket (sold separately) for warm-water diving, and you can mix and match blade and pocket colours to build a genuinely one-off set.
Pro tip 👀 If your dive buddy is the same shoe size, coordinate your Seawing Supernova colour sets so you can swap pieces and make underwater colour-coding even more fun 🤩
FAQs
Can I mix and match colours across different Scubapro product lines?
Yes — each product's colour options are independent, so there's no rule against pairing, say, a turquoise Zoom Lite mask with pink C370 colour frames. The only compatibility rule to watch is on the regulator, where colour frames only fit the current polymer-faced C370.
Do the colour frames on the C370 regulator affect performance?
No. The colour frames are a cosmetic snap-on accessory fitted to the face plate — they don't alter the air-balanced valve, purge button, or any of the internal components that affect breathing performance.
Can I switch my Seawing Supernova fins between open-heel and full-foot?
Yes, that's exactly what the modular Socket-Lock system is designed for. You'll need the full-foot conversion kit, sold separately, and a couple of minutes to swap the pocket over.
Diving gear doesn't have to be purely utilitarian — with ScubaPro, making it your own is genuinely part of the experience, not an afterthought
A colour-matched or colour-coded setup makes your gear instantly recognisable on a crowded boat
A kit that looks like yours is a kit you're excited to gear up in — and that enthusiasm carries into the dive itself.
