Company Profile

We are a privately held company, located in Santa Ana, CA. We started in 2002 with our first product, a patented weight belt. We have quickly grown to be a full-line supplier of diving and snorkeling products. We are the largest supplier of scuba cylinders and Thermo valves in the world. Through our Sea Pearls brand, we manufacture and supply lead weights to most U.S. dive stores. Using strategic acquisitions of other diving companies, we have been able to expand our product offering to include regulators, buoyancy compensators and instrumentation that are recognized for performance and reliability. 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.

Our Brands

XS Scuba
Most of the products shown on the website are branded XS Scuba.
XS Scuba products are targeted for professional and recreational divers, freedivers, and snorkelers who want to work, have fun, and do it safely. The offering is quite extensive inspiring the tag line, “Everything for the Perfect Dive”. Many of the products are unique and offer up solutions to common problems found in the sport.

XS Scuba does not offer trinkets or knick-knacks, rather, only products that are useful and desirable to scuba divers and snorkelers.

Sea Pearls
Over the past 40 years, Sea Pearls has pioneered major technology advances in diving weights. We remain the only company that die casts lead weight for the highest quality and most consistent product available. Our vinyl dipped weights and soft weights remain the industry standard. In addition to being the industry’s largest supplier of all forms of lead diving weights, we are also a major supplier of aluminum, steel cylinders and accessories.

Acquired by XS Scuba in 2007, Sea Pearls continues to operate as it has in the past from its current location in Minneapolis, MN.

Highland
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.

Thunderbird Aluminum Cylinders
Thunderbird Cylinders is the largest manufacturer of aluminum cylinders in the United States, supporting a range of markets around the globe. From critical, life-saving situations to industrial applications to recreational activities, we offer a comprehensive product line of high-quality, high-performance aluminum cylinders.
