Why We Choose Our Equipment
At Rainbow Scuba, the safety and reliability of your dive gear is our absolute priority. We partner exclusively with industry leaders like Mares and Aqua Lung because they provide equipment designed to withstand the rigors of daily ocean use while maintaining peak performance. To ensure your safety, our rental gear undergoes a rigorous maintenance schedule: it is inspected daily before and after every customer use to verify operational safety. Furthermore, we completely replace or rebuild our scuba gear annually, guaranteeing that every regulator breath and buoyancy adjustment is as smooth as possible.

What You Will Be Wearing
Comfort underwater begins with the right fit and balance. We use Aqua Lung Wave BCDs, a globally trusted choice for rental programs due to their heavy-duty construction and color-coded sizing that fits everyone from young divers to adult males. These BCDs feature large non-corrosive D-rings and velcro pockets for securing accessories. Paired with this, we use Luxfer Aluminum Tanks (80 CF) equipped with standard K-valves. Weighing approximately 45lbs when full, these tanks provide the industry-standard reliability required for exploring Hawaii’s reefs.
How Our Technology Improves Your Dive
We select gear that actively reduces physical effort, allowing you to conserve air and enjoy the view. Our Mares Avanti Fins utilize "Channel Thrust" technology inspired by marine mammals; this design moves a greater volume of water with less effort, providing superior thrust and comfort without the need for boots. For breathing, we rely on the Mares Ranger 2 Regulator. It features the exclusive DFC (Dynamic Flow Control) system, which minimizes the pressure drop during inhalation. This means breathing remains easy and natural, even during deep dives or when demand for air is high.
