What is so Special about Scubagaskets Scuba O-rings?

O-ring Material
Nowadays a large variety of material is used by O-ring manufacturing plants around the world; not only standard NBR, FPM, MVQ, Polyurethane and EPDM, but also EPT, FKM and a special EPDM rubber material used for numerous applications. Not all materials are suitable for scuba applications and there is lot more than size, color and hardness of an O-ring used in scuba applications. Not because it looks the same, has the right size and hardness, one can assume it’s OK to use it in scuba applications.
Scubagaskets differs from most of scuba O-ring suppliers because the company works closely with a very specialized company in the area of seals (gaskets), EUROPE SEALS BV Holland.
Why is this so important for the scuba diving industry? Well, since scuba diving is related to human life support systems, the highest possible product quality of any O-ring used must be guaranteed!
Europeseals has a strong cooperation with several leading O-Ring and molded parts manufacturers in the world. Europeseals’ mission statement is to supply the best possible industrial sealing products, reaching the highest level of customer satisfaction! The manufacturing plants are using unique economic process technologies to produce high quality products according to U.S.A. and European specifications, standards and approvals.
Scubagaskets has used the expertise of Europseals, and their very specialized equipment, to identify the material of many Scuba gear manufactures’ O-ring parts that they use in their products. At the moment Scubagaskets has identified and now sell many O-ring part numbers for many scuba diving products made by Sherwood, Scubapro, Mares, and Suunto, with more brands to follow. You can search by product number at scubagaskets.com/o-ring-finder.
Constant Quality
Quality awareness is the most important issue for Scubagaskets. The company guarantees the highest possible quality level during the production progress – the manufacturing facilities have various testing laboratories, automatic control machines, and different manual final inspection lines in place.
All of Scubagaskets‘ O-rings come in 100 O-ring sealed plastic jars. However after requests from many customers, Scubagaskets very recently launched seven Scuba O-ring service kits of 100-120 O-rings which have been made from their stock (Viton-FKM,EPDM,NBR).
Europe seals offers quality product guarantee for all Scubagaskets O-rings!
That is why Scubagaskets O-rings are so different from other unbranded or unknown origin O-rings that are in free circulation in the market as “scuba O-rings”.
Scubagaskets offers free delivery globally (for orders over 30 euros) so you don’t have to worry about extra cost. You can download scubagaskets full catalog at scubagaskets.com/catalogue.
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver.

A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
