Beuchat

Beuchat runs deeper here than almost any brand we carry. This collection holds the full range: freediving masks like the Mundial and Super Compensator, the Maxlux scuba masks, Mundial One and X-Voyager fins, snorkels, weight belts, and a long wetsuit line-up in Espadon, Redrock, Bifo, Rocksea and Focea, plus hoods, boots, gloves and snorkelling sets. Ask us about sizing before you order.

Freediving is where Beuchat is strongest

Most of this collection points at breath-hold diving, and the mask wall is the clearest sign of it.

Masks

The Mundial, Super Compensator, GP1, Shark and Strato Rubber are five attempts at the same problem: getting a freediving mask to seal on very different faces. It is worth trying more than one. If you also dive on a cylinder, the Maxlux S, Maxlux S Clear and Maxlux Evo are the scuba masks in the range.

Fins

Blade fins come as the Mundial One and the Mundial One-50. The X-Voyager is worth a look if you fly with your kit. We also stock the SS US BUCKLE nylon strap on its own, because straps give out long before blades do.

Wetsuits are the deepest part of the range

More than half of this collection is neoprene, and it splits across two very different jobs.

Two-piece freediving suits

Espadon, Espadon Prestige, Espadon Elite, Redrock, Bifo, Rocksea Trigocamo Wide and the women's Athena are all sold as a jacket and a long john, bought separately, with an Espadon Elite Freediving Waist Cut and an Espadon Pro pant alongside them. Buy both halves. The jacket on its own is not the suit.

Scuba and semi-dry

For diving on a cylinder, compare the FOCEA COMFORT 6 5mm men's suit, the Semi-dry X-Trem in men's and women's cuts, and the ZENTO men's and women's suits.

The parts that decide whether you stay in the water

Hoods, boots and gloves are what people under-buy and then regret. The Cagoule Standard Hood 5mm and the Semi-Dry X-Trem Hood cover the head. The SIROCCO Sport 5mm and SIROCCO Elite 7mm boots have zips, and the Aquashoes are the lighter option. Gloves are the Sirocco Open Gloves 5mm and the Semi Dry Premium 4.5mm. Sirocco Sports Socks 5mm go under everything.

Snorkelling, and starting out

Not everything here needs a course first. The Oceo Adult Snorkeling Set and the Oceo Junior Snorkeling Set are complete mask-and-snorkel packages, while the SPY Snorkel, the Tubair and the Oceo Purge Junior are sold on their own. The Marseillaise Freediving Weight Belt is the belt we hand most people starting breath-hold work, and the Freediving Package pulls the basics together in one order.

Frequently asked questions

Which brands does Oyster Diving stock in this collection?

Only one: Beuchat. Every item on this page is Beuchat, covering freediving masks, scuba masks, fins, snorkels, weight belts, wetsuits, hoods, boots, gloves, socks and snorkelling sets. If you want to compare Beuchat against other manufacturers, start from our Brands page or the wider equipment categories instead.

What is the difference between Beuchat's freediving masks and the Maxlux range?

The freediving masks here are the Mundial, Super Compensator, GP1, Shark and Strato Rubber. They sit close to the face and are built around equalising easily on a breath-hold. The Maxlux S, Maxlux S Clear and Maxlux Evo are the scuba side of the range, where field of view matters more than keeping the mask small. If you do both disciplines, most people end up owning one of each.

Which Beuchat wetsuits work for UK diving?

For scuba in British water, look at the FOCEA COMFORT 6 5mm men's suit and the Semi-dry X-Trem in men's and women's cuts. The ZENTO suits cover men and women as well. Then pair them properly: the Cagoule Standard Hood 5mm or the Semi-Dry X-Trem Hood, SIROCCO Sport 5mm or SIROCCO Elite 7mm boots, and Sirocco Open Gloves 5mm or the Semi Dry Premium 4.5mm gloves. It is usually hands and head that end a dive early, not the suit.

Why are the freediving suits sold as separate jackets and long johns?

Beuchat builds most of its freediving suits as a two-piece, so a jacket goes over a long john and the torso ends up with two layers. The Espadon, Espadon Prestige, Espadon Elite, Redrock, Bifo, Rocksea Trigocamo Wide and the women's Athena all follow that pattern, and you buy the halves separately. There is also an Espadon Elite Freediving Waist Cut and an Espadon Pro pant if you want to mix pieces. Ask us before ordering if you are between sizes.

Do you stock Beuchat snorkelling gear for children?

Yes. The Beuchat Oceo Junior Snorkeling Set is the children's mask-and-snorkel package, and the Oceo Purge Junior is that snorkel on its own. For adults the Beuchat Oceo Adult Snorkeling Set does the same job, and the SPY Snorkel and the Tubair are sold separately if you already have a mask that fits you.
