Stahlsac Introduces the Steel Line
As the only watersport company dedicated exclusively to top quality adventure luggage, Stahlsac has created an all-new line of bags designed to meet the needs of any outdoor enthusiast that participates in gear-intensive and water-related actives.
The Steel Line offers 5 bags to choose from, ranging from big and roomy to small and versatile. The exclusive wet/dry storage system, bright interior lining for visibility, and multiple separated compartments, make it easy to store your gear safely and securely. And while they can be purchased separately, the bags work best as a full set, with one for every occasion.
“The features are what really set these bags apart,” says Christoph Palmanshofer, Brand Manager for Stahlsac. “While all of our luggage is tough, durable, and backed by our limited lifetime guarantee, the Steel Line has added conveniences like our exclusive Wet/Dry System or the multi-purpose Changing Pad. The heavy-duty construction as well as the strategic reinforcement of stress points make them not only ideal for a Diver, but for any adventurer.”
While some features are model-specific, like the multi-purpose changing pad, detachable dry- bag, and a convenient “add-a-bag” strap, all of the bags boast easy-access zippers, a bright interior lining for visibility and the tough, reliable construction you’ve come to expect from Stahlsac.
“Our passion is to build the best bags we can possibly build,” says Palmanshofer. “Stahlsac was founded on a commitment to quality and meticulous attention to detail, and we created the Steel Line of bags as an embodiment of those values. These bags are very unique, and with their watersport-specific design and tough construction they set themselves apart from anything else on the market. We’re very excited to be able to offer them to our fellow divers and adventurers.”
The Steel Line includes Roller Travel Bags in 34 inch, 27 inch, and 22 inch Carry-On; as well as a Backpack and Duffel.

May the 4th be with you!
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!

Gear Showcase: The Nomad Ray Sidemount System from Dive Rite
Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
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. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. 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.
