The Gear We Actually Use, Love, and Recommend

This is our collection of tried-and-tested favorites — the gear, tools, and everyday upgrades that earned a permanent spot in our bags. Nothing sponsored, nothing gifted, nothing for hype.

Just the things that work, trip after trip, dive after dive, day after day.
