Equipment

At Oceanic Ventures we believe in safety coupled with value and benefits for our scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling clients.  With this in mind, we select to represent equipment manufacturers who are committed to quality and customer service.

Of course, we like to say that, “If it is made in scuba, we can get it.”  We are able to do this because we belong to a family of retailers across the country.  This same affiliation allows us to offer professional quality diving equipment at fair prices.  Here are some of the companies we represent:

Air Delivery Systems

The Air Delivery System or regulator is at the core of any diving system.  We offer high quality products from Zeagle Diving Systems, Atomic, Poseidon Diving Products, Cressi Sub, Tusa, Submersible Systems, Inc. (Spare Air) & Dive Rite Manufacturing.  We also offer a wide range of scuba diving cylinders from Faber, Luxfer, Catalina, Worthington, and AP Valves. Oceanic Ventures stocks a full range of sizes and colors in Miflex® and traditional low-pressure and high-pressure hoses.

Buoyancy Control Systems

The ability to float neutral underwater is what makes diving fun and the buoyancy control system is the tool you need to accomplish this.  We offer recreational and technical systems from Zeagle Diving Systems, Atomic, Cressi Sub, Dive Rite Manufacturing, and Tusa

Environmental Protection Systems

Keeping warm, comfortable and protected underwater is important for your health and safety,  We offer a variety of environmental protection systems from skins to wetsuits to dry suits.  We stock products from Aeroskins, Bare Sportswear, Henderson Aquatics, Fourth Element,  Diving Unlimited International (DUI),  Pinnacle Aquatics, Waterproof , and Dive Rite Manufacturing.

Air Information & Management Systems

When you enter the underwater world you need dependable, accurate information about your gas, depth, time, and no-decompression or decompression status.  Oceanic Ventures is your source for some of the most sophisticated diving instrumentation on the market today.  But in addition to the equipment, we understand how the different units operate with knowledge to help you find the right combination of instrumentation.  We offer computers and gauges from leading manufacturers including Suunto, Tusa, Shearwater Research, Dive Right Manufacturing, Cressi Sub, and Zeagle Systems.

Computer Systems

Oceanic Ventures is an authorized dealer for Suunto, Cressi Sub, Shearwater Research, Tusa, and Dive Rite Manufacturing diving computers. Come talk to us to find the right computer for the type of diving you do.

Rebreather Systems

Rebreathers are the hottest thing in diving today.  They allow you to stay underwater longer, go deeper while maximizing your decompression time, and get close to animals like never before.  There are many rebreather manufacturers on the market today.  When we select a product to offer our clients, we want products with a solid reputation in the market and a manufacturer who will stand behind their units.  While the basic technology is simple, the way units are tools for your diving and they handle things in different ways.   Before deciding on a system, you should talk to or email one of our rebreather instructors to discuss what your diving goals might be and where you want to end up with your diving.  We offer units and training on units from the leading rebreather manufacturers.  These include Inner Space Systems, Ambient Pressure Diving, Dive Rite manufacturing, and of course Dräger.

To help you become more familiar with the various units, you can read many of the operating manuals for these rebreathers:

  • Innerspace Systems – Megalodon
  • Ambient Pressure Diving – Inspiration and Evolution
  • Dive Rite Manufacturing, Inc. – O2 Optima
  • VMS, PLC – Sentinel, Ouroboros (no longer manufactured)
  • Dräger – LAR V, Dolphin (no longer manufactured), Ray (no longer manufactured)

Surface Support Systems

Every successful dive and snorkeling adventure begins and ends on the surface.  Having the right equipment for the surface as well as propelling you through the water is important.  We are proud to offer snorkels, masks, fins, booties, and other “surface” systems from Cressi Sub USA, Atomic Aquatics, Zeagle Diving Systems,  Bare Sportswear, Fourth Element Systems, Dive Rite Manufacturing, Poseidon Diving Systems as well as other specialty manufacturers.

Photography Equipment

Let’s face it, none of us gets enough dive time in beautiful places.  Taking photographs and videos allows you to bring images back with you to use in between trips.  Kodak® said it best when they said “capture the memories.”  We are proud to represent some of the leading manufacturers in the image capture business.  Some of the manufacturers we represent are Sea Life, Sea and Sea cameras, lighting, and housings, Light and Motion video and still camera housings and lighting products, Aquatica Housings, Gates Housings and lighting systems, Ikelite Systems camera systems, housing and lighting products, GreenForce Lighting Products, Ultralight Control Systems arms and trays and other small specialty manufacturers.  Your sales consultant at Oceanic Ventures can help you find the right product to meet your photographic needs and budget.
