Scubapro expand responsible packaging program
Back in April 2021, Scubapro presented numerous steps in the field of sustainable packaging. Now, half a year later, the company is introducing further implementations.
In addition to the already existing plastic-free and recyclable packaging, which has become an integral part of the packaging concept, the company will change the packaging of all computers and instruments to recycled and sustainable packaging from November 2021.
Furthermore, Scubapro is not only focusing on one resource, but plans to vary between the types of materials used for packaging. The market offers innovative materials, and Scubapro will thus switch all small and large spare part bags to packaging made from innovative grass paper in the future.
This material, which is manufactured and sourced in Germany, preserves rare resources, has short transportation distances, saves water and thus ensures a smaller carbon footprint. From now on, all spare parts and small accessories (O-rings, mask straps, etc.) will be delivered in grass paper bags, which can be returned to the recycling cycle for paper and cardboard.
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING PROGRAMME – ongoing active measures:
- Recycled cardboard boxes or protective containers for masks that can be used sustainably for transport and storage of accessories.
- Boots in fabric bags that can be used for transport and storage as well as a wash or shoe bag.
- Headbands, neoprene mask straps, gloves and other accessories are delivered on recycled label cards as packaging.
- Regulators, computers, and regulator maintenance kits are shipped in cardboard packaging without plastic.
- Fins in recycled cardboard boxes or in mesh bags that can be used for transport and storage or as bags for marine debris when diving.
The complete elimination of plastic and the reduction of total packaging are the goals of the Scubapro Responsible Packaging program. Innovative packaging solutions for more products will be introduced soon.

Cozy and warm in cold water.
It’s drysuit season all year round. With the new RS series premium drysuits from DYNAMICNORD, divers are perfectly equipped for all cold waters.
The sophisticated cut of the RS drysuits allows complete freedom of movement, providing maximum comfort. The high-quality 350 g/m² ripstop material with double ripstop zones on the elbows, knees, and crotch protect ensures extreme robustness as well as long life.
The suit’s features leave nothing to be desired: A high-quality TiZip zipper, easily adjustable inlet and outlet valves, upgradeable with electrically heated underwear, HP bottleneck cuffs made of high-strength latex on the wrists, a 3mm neoprene neck cuff for maximum comfort, a 7mm hood with air outlet and 3mm boots made of double-sided, cross-layered neoprene with ankle straps and fin strap stoppers and a protective but very flexible sole.
Noteworthy is the Molle fastening system, which can be used in a variable and compatible manner. This way, the two detachable leg pockets can be attached easily, safely and comfortably.
Alterations of boots to a different shoe size or adjustments to neck or wrist cuffs are done free of charge at the own DYNAMICNORD service centre in Germany in only a couple of days.
The matching Dynaskins made with high-quality Polartec® technology are available in various designs. As an undersuit under the drysuit, as a single suit in warm waters or as a two-piece suit. Polartec® technology’s main features are neutral buoyancy, breathablilty and quick-drying.
Dynaskins are made largely from recycled plastic bottles.
