What is so Special about Scubagaskets Scuba O-rings?
[box style=”0″]
– ADVERTORIAL –

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.

Introducing the SP Neoprene Suit from DYNAMICNORD
Maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort
The SP series neoprene suits deliver incredible diving comfort to even the most demanding divers. Fabulous style included. Designed and engineered in Germany.
The smart 3D cut and the pre-shaped arms and legs not only ensure flexibility and a perfect fit, but also help you slip into the suit with ease. Cuffs on the arms and legs guarantee perfect sealing, which is further enhanced by the flap on the back zipper.
Zippers at the wrists and ankles provide additional comfort and ensure easy donning and doffing. The small neck zipper adds another layer of comfort.
The neoprene ribs in the back of the knees and crook of the arms are unique. The clever concept ensures optimum comfort when bending the arms or legs.
Shoulder and knee protectors protect the suit in high-wear areas. The small computer safety strap holds the device in place. The SP suit series is available for men and women in 5 & 7mm and offers a wide range of sizes including numerous intermediate sizes.
Every day, DYNAMICNORD works to keep its environmental impact as low as possible. Only the best available neoprene is used for the SP series of neoprene suits. It goes without saying that the neoprene is made from limestone. It is sourced from nature and has less negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Carbon Black, one of the main components of neoprene, is pyrolysed from used tires. This reduces energy consumption and cuts CO₂ emissions by 200 grams per neoprene suit. Innovative dyeing machines reduce water and energy consumption during production by 60%.
DYNAMICNORD’s R&D department is constantly testing recycled materials and other next-generation sustainable components to become even more eco-friendly in all areas.
The different models in the SP series are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers and in the online store.

SP suit 7mm: £504.00
SP suit 5mm: £440.00
