Dive Gear Essentials: Where to Start
New to building your own kit? Every diver needs a few essentials before heading in: a well-fitted mask and snorkel, fins matched to your diving style, and a wetsuit rated for New Zealand's cooler waters — add a BCD and regulator set once you're diving with tanks. Freedivers and spearfishers can skip the tank gear and focus on a low-volume mask, long-blade fins and a weight system instead. Not sure what you need for your first dive? Get in touch and our team will help you put together the right gear for the diving you actually plan to do.
