If possible both cheap and good quality for delivery to VIC Australia.

Buying Scuba Gear online can have it’s pitfalls. If it needs to fit you, not somebody else and if it’s part of life support, like a reg set don’t buy it online. Hit your local dive shop. It’s no good if it doesn’t fit, compatible with other gear or possibly a factory second. Things like dive knives, gloves and the like, sure, knock yourself out. But body exposure protection and regs are not something you should be purchasing online. You also need to think ahead for your gear service. If your local dive shop doesn’t deal those regs you bought online, you’ll be shipping them off to whomever you bought them from ( paying for that too) and not seeing them for awhile. Then there’s the question of warranty etc.
Chances are, you’ll get just as good a deal hitting your local shop. If you’re buying it all, they’ll usually toss in a hefty discount..

    Wetsuitwearhouse.com has a great selection of Scuba wetsuits for both men and women. They also have pretty much any brand you would want. Hope it’s helpful.
