Camera and light handle for the Blacktip.
Slides onto a fully assembled scooter and tightens with one clamp. Straps tuck underneath. Nose cone still comes off in seconds.
Three 1 inch ball mounts, modified so the arms stay where you set them.
Complete set, or bare handle if you already have your own hardware or just want the handle. Need one for a different DPV? Send a message.
We also carry action camera housings that can handle rough handling and depth.

Testing Blacktip DPV handle with light and camera mounts. It needs more work 🤷♂️ thank you for the capture 🙌
Something new for Fathom MK/Gemini is coming. I had this model designed long time ago but it took a while to get CNC machine going.

Heading to Mexico for cave diving? Bring a few extra jump spools! These are perfect for short jumps (15m/50ft) and take up little space.
30-second guide on how to remove HYDPRO D01 Rugged dump valve cover. It is possible without a specialized tool, but having one could save one some hassle.
New on the bench: HYDPRO D01 Rugged Exhaust Valve. We’ve been waiting to get this one in. Roughly 4x the exhaust capacity of comparable valves, so the suit vents faster when you’re dumping gas on ascent or repositioning.
Install notes:
- Unscrew and pull the old valve out.
- Port takes no sealant. Wipe the port surfaces clean before the new valve goes on.
- The D01 Tightening Key turns this into a 2-second swap. Hand install works, just keep your grip off the rotating section.
- Hand tight only. Don’t torque it down.
Another nod to for shipping suits with ports installed, it makes swapping valves a breeze, especially in the field.
Not a drysuit tech. This is for information, not instruction. If you’re not sure, send it to a qualified service center. We recommend !

Swapping an inflator valve for a HYDPRO D01 Stealth. A few notes from the bench:
- Ours was a bit loose when we pulled it. Valves can loosen over time, worth a periodic check.
- No sealant or tape on the port threads. Keep the port surfaces clean.
- With the D01 Tightening Key it’s a 2-second job. By hand works too, just don’t grip the rotating section.
- Hand tight only. Don’t torque it down.
Kudos to for putting ports on their drysuits. Consumer-friendly, and makes swapping valves a breeze, especially in the field.
