AKUANA is a solid pick for certified recreational and technical divers who want a backplate-and-wing BCD, sidemount harness or regulator set for less than many big-name dive brands. Skip it if you want to try gear in a local shop first, since it sells mostly online. Before buying a regulator, confirm where it will be serviced; AKUANA lists after-sales points in Florida, Belgium and the Philippines.
