Can you use Soviet-era diving equipment

We are often asked - Can Soviet divers use diving equipment for diving?
Diving club Diving coach Valters Preimanis - We will keep the Soviet-era equipment in the museum for safety. You use diving with modern diving equipment and you will reduce many risks, modern diving equipment is safe in 99,99% cases if it has undergone an annual maintenance of diving equipment. The safety of used Soviet-era diving equipment is very low compared to modern diving equipment.

We buy little used diving equipment for the needs of a diving club

Equipment produced in the last 20 years and in working order
Little used diving equipment, suits, booties, gloves, vests, regulators, masks
Repairable, timely diving equipment useful for diving training

We invite you to donate old photos and stories related to underwater works and sports
