This page is the ultimate resource for versatile ocean enthusiasts who move between the sand and the sea. It is best for those looking to complete their kit with reliable Diving Gear and practical shore-based essentials.

Choosing the right thickness

While this collection focuses on hardware and accessories, pairing them with the right neoprene thickness is essential for comfort. When selecting your core protection from our Men’s Wetsuits, Women’s Wetsuits, or Kids Wetsuits, consider these guidelines:

• 1.5mm: Best for tropical diving, summer surfing, and protection against stingers or UV rays without overheating.
• 3/2mm: The standard for temperate Australian waters, providing excellent flexibility for most of the year.
• 4/3mm & 5/4mm: Necessary for winter sessions or deep-water activities where thermal retention is the top priority.

Warmth, stretch and durability

Our gear is designed with three core principles in mind: keeping you warm, allowing you to move, and lasting for years. Our Spearfishing Wetsuits and diving accessories use premium materials like high-grade silicone for mask skirts and heavy-duty PVC for dry bags to ensure they handle the pressure. We focus on ergonomic designs that reduce drag and maximise comfort, whether you are breath-holding on a reef or hiking to a remote surf break. By eliminating unnecessary gimmicks, SALT Of The Sea delivers durable equipment that performs consistently in real-world ocean conditions.

FAQs

What diving gear is essential for beginners?

For those starting out, a well-fitting low-volume mask, a comfortable snorkel, and a reliable pair of fins are the first essentials. These items ensure clear vision and efficient movement. We also recommend a dry bag to protect your valuables from salt spray and a poncho towel for easy changing after your session.

How do I choose the right dive mask?

A good mask should create a natural seal on your face without being overly tight. Look for tempered glass for safety and high-grade silicone skirts for comfort. Low-volume designs are generally preferred for freediving and spearfishing as they are much easier to equalise as you descend.

How should I care for my beach and diving accessories?

Always rinse all your gear—including masks, snorkels, and bags—in fresh water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Dry your equipment in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than in direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause silicone and plastic components to become brittle over time.

Are the dry bags completely submersible?

Our dry bags are designed to be highly water-resistant and will protect your gear from heavy rain, splashes, and brief surface immersion when rolled correctly. However, they are not intended for prolonged underwater submersion. Always ensure you provide at least three tight rolls of the closure to maintain a reliable seal.
