T-Shirts Hats and Caps
Caps and Hats are an essential item if you plan to spend your day hanging out in the dive boat, or if you want to lay back on the beach and enjoy the sound of the waves. And while it can feel tempting to lie out in the sun and soak up the warmth after a long dive or a successful spearfishing hunt, the harsh UV rays could cause sunburn.
Protect your face from direct exposure and shield your eyes from the direct glare of the sun with a scuba hat. The Scuba Doctor stocks different headgear to suit your outdoor aquatic needs, including caps, and beanies. Shop with us today.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source, e.g. GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
If you don't understand the differences between the different ways coordinates are given, plus how different datum come into play, you might find the article GPS Conversions by Lloyd Borrett a useful read. It describes the problems associated with locating dive sites using a GPS receiver.
