    XS Scuba is a dive equipment brand best known for the hardware that surrounds the main pieces of kit: weight systems, cylinder fittings, high-pressure adapters and the tools that go with them. Products carrying the Highland name are listed under XS Scuba in our catalogue, so you will find both in this collection.

    Who it suits

    Most of this collection is aimed at divers setting a rig up, adjusting their weighting, or keeping kit serviceable between dives, and at anyone building a save-a-dive box. Threads, mounting patterns and fittings vary between manufacturers, so check the manufacturer specification for your own kit before ordering. If you would rather be certain, bring the kit into the shop and we will check it with you.
