We continually bring innovation and new technologies to the diving industry. The reputation of XS Scuba is built upon the products that are produced, the relationships that are developed and the customer service provided.

Highland
There are some accessories found on this website which are branded Highland. These accessories were selected from the Highland technical product line to support the cylinders. The complete Highland product collection may be found on the XS Scuba website.

Acquired by XS Scuba as Highland Millworks in 2008, the brand was best known for the highest quality twin tank bands in the industry. Since then, the product offering branded “Highland”, has expanded significantly to include dozens of products for the technical diving market. From plates and wings to jonlines, reels and line arrows, the brand’s success comes from taking common products and accessories, making them better and smarter, and offering them at a desirable price.

Thermo
Acquired by XS Scuba in 2009, Thermo brand cylinder valves/manifolds are the best known and most widely used valves/manifolds in the dive industry. Thermo has a stellar reputation that is synonymous with precision, quality, and durability. Thermo offers the best support by always having parts and service kits in stock and publishing the best service manual in the industry.

Thermo is not manufactured under any other name so do not be fooled by imitators claiming to be offering equivalent valve products.

SeaDive
This brand, which was created in 1996, was acquired by XS Scuba in 2016. SeaDive is best known for its diving masks with vision-enhanced lenses.  Under the tradenames RayBlocker-HD, TrueColor-HD, and Hydrophobic Softlight-HD, these masks reduce glare, block harmful UV rays and increase depth perception.  Other companies have attempted to imitate but none have been successful in achieving the benefits of these unique and exclusive lens coatings.

Oceanways
This is the popular brand that targets the snorkeling enthusiast. The masks, snorkels, fins, and especially the mask / snorkel combination sets, are geared for the price-conscious.

The Oceanways products use some of the technology found in the SeaDive professional masks, such as high-definition lens coatings. Since the products are robust and economically priced, they are often found in high-use situations such as rental departments, training programs and resorts.

Faber Steel Cylinders
The most popular brand of steel scuba cylinders.

Faber’s Cylinders are appreciated worldwide by scuba divers who choose steel cylinders for their diving activities. To provide the lightest steel cylinders with an ideal buoyancy, Faber’s scuba diving cylinders are diligently manufactured using high quality steel plates. If you are already using steel cylinders when diving, then you don't need to be convinced about the advantages of steel. Beside the buoyancy attractions, they occupy a far lower volume for the capacity, allowing you to enjoy greater space and freedom.
