Company Profile

Founded in 2002 in Santa Ana, California, XS Scuba began with a simple idea: to design gear that divers could truly rely on. From our first patented weight belt to our full range of diving and snorkeling products, we have built a reputation for quality, innovation, and care.

We take pride in serving dive stores and professionals who lead the industry forward. Our team of experienced divers understands the demands of the underwater world and develops equipment that performs dependably in every condition. We are committed to reducing single-use plastics, strengthening our partnerships, and continuing to support the diving community with trusted products and exceptional service.

Our Brands

XS Scuba
At XS Scuba, we create gear with purpose, made for those who work, explore, and play beneath the surface. Our products are built for professionals, freedivers, and recreational divers who value reliability, performance, and safety. Every item we design is functional, thoughtfully engineered, and inspired by our belief that the right equipment should make every dive better. That’s why our tagline remains true: “Everything for the Perfect Dive.”

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 from its Minneapolis, MN location, maintaining the same dedication to quality and innovation that has defined the brand for decades.

Highland
Highland, acquired by XS Scuba as Highland Millworks in 2008, was originally recognized for producing the highest quality twin tank bands in the industry. Since then, the brand has expanded its offerings to include a comprehensive range of technical diving gear, including harnesses, backplates & wings, regulators, reels, line arrows and other core equipment. Highland’s success stems from refining key diving products and accessories, improving their functionality and design, and offering them at a desirable price. These qualities make Highland a trusted choice for technical divers worldwide.

SeaDive’s unique application and laboratory fabrication processes highlight the brand’s commitment to precision, innovation, and optical excellence.
