Customer Testimonials
We picked ScubaBasics from a number of on line sellers due to pricing as well as the supportive emails prior to our initial purchase of fins and boots. Given the excellant way the sale was handled, we then decided to purchase a full dive set of regulators/computer. Once again the after sales service was excellant, with it arrriving quickly to Australia. The pricing was good compared to anything else we saw.

We then purchased a second set of regulators/computer as well as a BCD. Even with the falling Australian dollar the pricing was good. The team strives to help in any way possible, even to the extent to ring all the way from USA to AUstralia to clear up any little problems.

When my daughter and her partner decide to get into diving we will once again ask ScubaBasics to provide the equipment for us. Any additional equipment for ourself will come from ScubaBasics as they are an excellant company to deal with in every way. They will always have our full support.

Scuba Buoyancy Compensators

A buoyancy compensator is a piece of Scuba Equipment worn by divers to provide the ability to adjust and control the overall buoyancy of the Scuba Diver allowing the diver to achieve neutral buoyancy, remaining at a constant depth, or to descend or ascend in a controlled way.

When underwater, a diver often needs to be neutrally buoyant so that the diver neither sinks nor rises but remains at constant depth, with minimal effort. A state of neutral buoyancy exists when the weight of water that the diver displaces equals the total weight of the diver. The diver uses the BC to maintain this neutral buoyancy by adjusting the BC's volume and therefore its buoyancy, in response to various effects, which alter the diver’s overall volume or weight.
