Diving equipment refers to products such as tank bangers and defogger used by underwater divers for safety and protection. This diving equipment is used by underwater divers to help them to make diving activities possible, easier, safer, and more comfortable. The main types of diving equipment are rebreathers, cylinders and propulsion vehicles, decompression chambers, exposure suits, accessories, and others. A rebreather is a breathing apparatus that is used by underwater divers. The equipment helps to absorb the carbon dioxide of a user's exhaled breath to permit rebreathing. The different depths include recreational diving, clearance diving, and saturation diving and involve various end-users such as the oil and gas industry, naval industry, aquaculture industry, and others. It is distributed through several channels, including specialty stores, online, and others.

The global diving equipment market size grew from $3.93 billion in 2022 to $4.26 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.
