Scubapro

Scubapro is arguably the most iconic and recognizable brand in the global scuba diving industry. Founded in 1963 by diving pioneers Gustav Dalla Valle and Dick Bonin, the company has spent over 60 years setting the gold standard for underwater life support and performance gear. Headquartered in El Cajon, California, Scubapro has built a legendary reputation among commercial, military, and technical divers for manufacturing equipment that delivers uncompromising reliability and durability in the harshest underwater environments.

As a pioneer in underwater mobility and breathing systems, Scubapro is perhaps most famous for the legendary Jet Fin. Introduced in 1965, this revolutionary vented fin design decreased drag and increased thrust, completely transforming how divers move underwater. Over half a century later, the Jet Fin remains in active production and is still the fin of choice for combat swimmers, commercial divers, and technical explorers worldwide. In tandem with their propulsion gear, Scubapro’s breathing apparatus—specifically their MK-series piston first stages (like the MK25 EVO) and G-series second stages—are renowned for providing effortless airflow and exceptional freeze-resistance in extreme cold-water conditions.

Beyond regulators and fins, Scubapro has continuously pushed the boundaries of dive technology and buoyancy control. They redefined the industry in the 1970s with the introduction of the Stabilizing (“Stab”) Jacket and continue that legacy today with advanced, highly customizable BCDs like the Hydros Pro. Their expertise also extends to precision dive instruments, with the Galileo series of dive computers offering everything from robust wrist-mounted data processing to innovative, hands-free mask-mounted HUD (Heads-Up Display) systems.
