The Fail-Safe That Never Sleeps
In an age of OLED screens and Bluetooth connectivity, the humble analogue gauge remains the bedrock of diver safety. Batteries fail. Electronics can flood. But a high-quality mechanical instrument, built from brass and glass, tells the truth regardless of the battery level. In the UK, where technical diving is the norm, we view analogue instruments not as antiquated, but as essential redundant monitoring.
We stock only the most robust instruments. Forget plastic lenses that scratch and fog; our SPG (Submersible Pressure Gauge) selection features tempered glass faces and shock-resistant brass housings. These are built to take a knock on a boat deck and keep working.
Navigation in the Gloom
Navigation in the UK isn’t about looking at coral formations; it’s about following a bearing through green water with 2-metre visibility. A reliable compass is non-negotiable. Our compasses feature high-tilt potential and a side-reading window for maintaining form while swimming.
Crucially, for the dark waters of our inland quarries or winter coastal dives, we prioritise readability. Every gauge we stock features a high-grade luminous dial. After a quick charge from your torch, these dials glow intensely, ensuring you can monitor your gas and heading even in a total silt-out. Trust in your computer, but keep your eye on your analogue kit.
Your Primary Flight Deck
A dive computer in UK waters is more than just a depth gauge; it is a decompression management system. When you are hanging on a shot line in the Channel with the current picking up, you need information that is instant, clear, and accurate. We specialise in computers with high-contrast OLED displays or bright LCDs that cut through the gloom. If you can’t read your ascent rate at a glance in low visibility, the computer is useless.
Optimised for Cold Water Physiology
Cold water increases the risk of Decompression Sickness (DCS). That is why we favour decompression computers that allow you to adjust conservatism. We stock units running the industry-standard Bühlmann ZHL-16C algorithm with adjustable Gradient Factors, allowing you to pad your safety margins for chilly dives.
For the technical diver, multi-gas capability (Nitrox and Trimix) is standard. We also understand the practicalities of diving in 6°C water: buttons must be large and spaced widely enough to be dryglove friendly, and haptic alarms (vibration) are a huge bonus when thick hoods muffle audio beeps. Finally, we champion units with Bluetooth connectivity for easy logging and user-replaceable batteries—because nothing ruins a trip faster than a dead battery you can’t change yourself.
Assume Nothing, Analyse Everything
IIn the UK technical diving scene—whether you are hitting the flow in Scapa or the deep wrecks off Malin Head—the “Chain of Survival” begins long before you hit the water. Breathing the wrong gas at the wrong depth is a fatal error. Therefore, gas analysis is not a suggestion; it is a mandatory ritual.
We provide the precision tools necessary to confirm exactly what is in your cylinder. Our range of Nitrox analyzers features fast-response oxygen sensors that allow you to calculate your MOD (Maximum Operating Depth) with absolute certainty.
Precision for Technical Mixes
For those venturing deeper with mixed gases, we stock dual-gas analyzers capable of reading Helium content for Trimix diving. Accuracy here is paramount to avoid both oxygen toxicity and narcosis issues.
We also supply the necessary calibration kits and flow restrictors to ensure your readings are pinpoint accurate. Remember, the label on the tank is just a claim; the reading on your analyzer is the fact. Verify your mix, mark your cylinder labelling clearly, and dive with the confidence that your life-support gas is exactly what you planned for.
Streamlining Your Rig
The days of the “rat’s nest” of hoses are over. Air integration (AI) has revolutionised how we configure our regulators, particularly for wreck and cave diving where entanglement is a constant threat. By replacing the high-pressure hose with a wireless transmitter, you remove a snag point and a common failure point, significantly streamlining your profile.
Modern AI is incredibly reliable. We stock the latest generation of transmitters that use collision avoidance protocols, allowing multiple divers or multiple cylinders (such as sidemount setups) to be monitored without signal interference.
Data at a Glance
The true power of AI lies in the data calculation. By feeding tank pressure directly to your wrist unit, your computer can calculate Gas Time Remaining (GTR) based on your actual breathing rate and current depth. This gives you a live, dynamic “fuel gauge” right next to your decompression obligation.
Installing a snag-free transmitter allows for cleaner hose routing and keeps your chest area clear. It’s not just about gadgetry; it’s about efficiency. Clean up your rig and get all your critical telemetry on one screen.

Advanced telemetry for every dive profile. From recreational wrist units to technical trimix computers.
