Worthington Galvanised Scuba Tanks
Steel Tank Price Drop
A new shipment of Worthington Steel Cylinders has just arrived and prices have come down due to the strength of the dollar. Worthington Scuba Cylinders have over 90% market share of steel tanks in the USA due to their numerous benefits.
- They are Hot Dipped Galvanised providing superior protection - no more rusting cylinders
- Pro DIN/K Valve so you can use either a 232 BAR Yoke / DIN regulator
- Self Draining Boot which quickly drains salt water away from the bottom of the cylinder
- They are Nitrox Ready - Clean for use of pre blended Nitrox up to 40% FO2
- 7.25” Diameter - Slightly wider diameter makes these tanks shorter than others on the market
- They have Negative Buoyancy - Worthington Scuba cylinders have been designed to be over 1kg negative at the end of a dive
New Prices..........include a self draining boot, Pro DIN/K Valve and FREE delivery in Australia. We also stamp them to order so they have 12months hydro.
65 cuft $365
80 cuft $385
100 cuft $399

Worthington Galvanised Tanks
Galvanised Scuba Cylinders / Tanks
Another load of the Gal tanks have just come in and we are now able to offer the cylinders at $399 for a 100CUFT, $385 for a 80 CUFT & 365 for the smaller 65CUFT
We are getting great feedback from clients who have already purchased one of our Worthington/XS Scuba Galvanised Scuba Cylinders.
The cylinders have been designed to be over 1Kg Negatively buoyant empty and around 4Kgs negative when full. We are finding that people are dropping around 2-4 Kgs of weight off the belt or from the integrated weight system in their BCDs.

Companion BCD
FEATURED PRODUCT
Companion BCD
Companion BCD , "Rugged & Lightweight!"
The Companion BC is a flexible lightweight travel BCD, at weighing only 5Lbs/2.5Kg and folding flatter than any other BC, it is ideal for fitting in your dive bag for overseas trips or when weight and space is a premium.
The Companion BC has a 30lbs rear wing style air cell with a separate inner bladder, two side weight pockets allowing 5Kg of dumpable weight (combined), Soft MicroPac™ back plate with the stability of a "hard pack" and comfort of a "soft pack" with dual cam bands to hold tanks securely.
It comes with an adjustable, depth-compensating cummerbund and is made from heavy duty 800 Denier nylon for long lasting wear
The Companion BCD is very adjustable as it is easy to completely remove the rear wing and to use it just as a harness; alternatively you can purchase the ponypac harness by itself.
Additionally, the Companion BCD features two Dump valves, one integrated in the inflator, as well as a pull dump on the lower right side of the bladder.
To further increase comfort, XS Scuba has added a rolled neoprene neck collar that extends across the back and a few inches down each shoulder strap.
If you have been looking for a high quality, lightweight BCD, then the XS Scuba Companion BCD is the BC for you.

Universal Spring Fin Strap
FEATURED PRODUCT
Universal Spring Fin Strap
“Strong & Easy to fit”.
XS Scuba Spring fin straps are a fantastic addition to your fins, I was getting tired of having to undo the adjustable plastic fin straps after every dive and then have to adjust them again before every dive so i put a pair of these fin straps on my power fins. I am very impressed with the resilience of the straps, I have been using them for over 2 years now and they still have all the strength in them as when i first put them on.
The main difference you will see with these fin straps over others is that the strap is fully stainless steel and connects to a stainless steel buckle connection, this makes the fin strap a lot stronger than the cheaper plastic connections you see out there.
I really love using these straps, so if you have not already got a pair grab one now they are on special for the next two weeks at $89 with free delivery Australia wide
Happy Diving

Featured Product - DSMB
FEATURED PRODUCT
XS Scuba 7' DSMB
“A must on all boat dives”.
The XS Scuba 7’ DSMB is a fantastic deployable SMB, with 50lbs (22.6Kg) of lift, giving you more lift than a standard DSMB.
I have been using this DSMB for the past two years and find it easy to use.
It is very durable being made of heavy duty nylon and has the advantage over most of being double stitched and heat seamed.
The XS Scuba DSMB is longer than standard DSMB’s.
Its 7’ long which means when fully inflated it is still over 6’ out of the water,
even when doing a deco stop.
It also has great visibility during the day and night because of the two SOLAS reflective strips running down the sides.
It has a D-ring at the top which is great for hanging slates or chem lights.
An over pressure release valve to vent excess pressure when ascending.
A one way valve (anti-spill baffle) at the bottom to stop air coming out, enabling it to remain inflated until you are back at the boat/shore, and it can be used as a conventional safety sausage or buoyancy aid at the surface by using the oral inflator.
An all round great DSMB having many benefits over other DSMB’s.

Featured Product - Advantage BCD
FEATURED PRODUCT
Advantage BC
On Special only
$449 for 2 weeks only
With Free XS Scuba T-Shirt
"Back Inflation with an Attitude!"
The Advantage BCD is the most comfortable BC I have ever used.
I use the Advantage for both training and personal diving.
The BCD is very comfortable and very stable both underwater and at the surface.
When I fully inflate the BCD I am usually about 20-30cm above the water.
I previously used a Seaquest Pro QD, Oceanic Excursions, and a Tigullio Hover BCD and find the Advantage BCD allows me more flexibility in the water. The back plate is very stable; I usually use an 80-100cuft cylinder and have used it with an additional 40cuft aluminium pony cylinder and its still very stable.
The XS Scuba Advantage BC boasts all of the features you would expect on a premium back inflation buoyancy compensator.
It’s weight integrated, with each "X Lock" pocket holding up to ten pounds of detachable weight.
The three dimensional, back mounted aircell gives a sleek and compact design that slices through the water without undue drag.
Additionally, the Advantage BCD features three Dump valves, one integrated in the inflator, a right shoulder pull dump as well as a pull dump on the lower right side of the bladder.
To further increase comfort, XS Scuba has added a rolled neoprene neck collar that extends across the back and a few inches down each shoulder strap.
If you have been looking for a high quality, back inflation BCD, then the XS Scuba Advantage is the BC for you.
Happy Diving

Featured Product - Pyrostretch Hooded Vest
FEATURED PRODUCT
PyroStretch™ Hooded Vest
“I never leave home without it”.
The XS Scuba Hooded Vest is warm. I wear it underneath my 7mm wetsuit and it keeps me warm diving in Sydney all year round. The XS Scuba hooded vest differs from normal hooded vests as it has an extra zip which runs down the side of your chest. This zipper makes it nice and easy to put the hooded vest on and take off and it also provides a really nice snug fit.
For a few facts……the hooded vest is warmer than others out there as it is made entirely from neoprene. It has a 4mm vest covering the torso and a 6mm hood. It is almost as warm as wearing another wetsuit. You can tell the guys at XS Scuba are divers themselves as they have put a soft 3mm face seal on the hooded vest, making it very comfortable around your face.
I really can’t rave about this hooded vest more. I always use it. It keeps me nice and warm and still enables me to move freely. You won’t find a better hooded vest for warmth or comfort.

Featured Product - XS Scuba SeaAir Tri-Metal Regulator
FEATURED PRODUCT
XS Scuba
SeaAir Tri-Metal Regulator
Welcome to our featured product, where we will introduce you to one new product every week, giving you more of an insight into the item or just making you aware of some of the great and sometimes unique gear that’s out there. To begin we have the XS Scuba SeaAir Tri-Metal Regulator.
This regulator has won several awards. It‘s been named, “Top Muscle Reg”, “Best Buy”, “Tester’s Choice”, and “Best Value in Regulators”. The regulator is very similar to more expensive regs out on the market but only a fraction of the cost.
I use the SeaAir Tri-Metal Regulator whenever I dive; whether teaching or personal diving. It is very easy to breathe, the bubbles are directed away from your face and I love the breathing adjustment knob, I have used the regulator down to 50m and the breathing is as easy as at 10m. I have found that the hoses on the Sea Air Regulator are more flexible than on other regs and I have never experienced any jaw fatigue
The 1st stage is very solid, 2 HP ports is all I have ever needed and 5 Low pressure ports on the swivel is more than enough, I especially like the LP port on the bottom as it is great for routing the hoses when doing twin set diving.
This regulator is an ideal purchase for the technical/professional diver or an Open water diver wanting a great regulator which will take them through to the next level of diving
If you have any questions please send me an email or for more information please visit our website
