Global Coverage with Local Expertise

While we ship worldwide from our Columbus headquarters (excluding parts of Asia and select remote regions), our small-shop approach means you get:

  • Personalized customs documentation to minimize delays
  • Real-time shipment tracking
  • Dive-gear-specific packaging to prevent transit damage

Returns & Exchanges

We stand behind every piece of gear we ship. If any item doesn’t meet your expectations:

  • Return Window: 15 days from delivery date
  • Condition: Unused with original packaging
  • Process: Contact our gear specialists at [email protected] for authorization

Note: Due to the specialized nature of technical diving equipment, certain items (like analyzer packages and cutting devices) may have specific return requirements. Our team will guide you through the process.
