For our 2026 Liveaboards issue, ScubaLab reviewed travel-friendly dive gear. This roundup highlights several categories of travel-ready gear, including bags, BCs, fins and more.
BARE’s new SB SYSTEM Drysuit is the world’s first STRETCH BREATHABLE drysuit.
Light & Motion’s Sola Dive 1200 is one of the smallest, most powerful dive lights we’ve ever seen. The light offers a choice of spot or flood beams with three power settings.
IST’s ProEar ME-80 is a dual-lens mask with a crystal-clear silicone skirt. But what makes the ProEar ME-80 unique is its pair of ear pods that provide a watertight fit over each ear.
IST’s camo wetsuit blends into any underwater hunting terrain with its choice of blue or green camouflage pattern.
Cressi’s Lontra wetsuit is a versatile suit with an attractive design.
The new Ellipse MC9 Balanced Non-Adjustable regulator has the same high-performance features of the Ellipse Balanced, but without the Second stage micrometric adjustment knob.
When used as a safe second, Aqua Lung’s Air Source 3 inflator reg breathes smoother than many primary regs. And when used as a power inflator, it delivers total ascent control.
