For most SCUBA gear, you can choose your favorite colors, add clips, change hoses, and generally customize your gear so it is unique compared to your buddy’s setup—except for the tank.
Yes, you can find tanks in various colors, as long as that variety sticks to basic colors like black, yellow, blue, red, silver and a few others but that doesn’t help identify you as a diver. Unfortunately, painting tanks can be expensive and prone to damage, and if done incorrectly, it can damage the tank itself.
For those of you just now joining the people who have been stressing over tank ‘mods for their entire diving career, fear not: Scuba.com has the solution to your bland tank woes!
Now, you can quickly, easily, and affordably change the look of your tank in minutes. No longer will you need to pick through a pile of tanks at your nearest tank fill station looking for your yellow aluminum 80-cubic-foot tank that looks just like every other tank!
Our solution on how to decorate your SCUBA tank is with ScubaHides. These can fit any tank from a 63 to a 15 liter and will keep your VIP stickers fully visible. Each cover comes with two shrink sleeves so you can easily remove and re-fit your hide. Hides are adhesive-free, so removal isn’t a mess. Even Professional SCUBA Inspectors (PSI) have determined them to be safe for use on your tank! Just slip the hide onto your tank, place the shrink sleeve over the top, then use an essential hair dryer to shrink the sleeve, securing the hide on your tank.
