Welcome to our Mixto World of crazy prints in fab-funky fabrics. We are Cool Quality made proudly in the USA. We are at the global crossroads of fun and fashion. We've been expecting you because we knew you were a Secret Agent of Style!

Although we really liked our unique website, we have migrated the cart to Zen-Cart to provide you more efficient, safe service and us a more dynamic environment to grow our presence with you and the world!

Please be patient as we customize our look. Most carts are so busy with info and products popping up, it quite frankly confuses my ADD brain. We here at ScubaDoRag are Mondo Multitaskers too but sometimes you just want to shop and not be bombarded with clutter. If you have any thoughts, likes, dislikes, please let us know.

DAN dons ScubaDoRag for Style and Function

⇔Wed Jun 18 11:08:52 EDT 2008

Dive Dominica loves ScubaDoRags!

DAN (Divers Alert Network ) has a new Do—they now offer a ScubaDoRag made of limited edition TonyRoyale print of brilliant hues of blues exclusive to DAN.

For comfort and quality, Susan Martin of ScubaDoRag suggested the DAN logo be embroidered before the ScubaDoRag was put together so the stitches would be inside. “It is a great experience when quality conscious companies come together for a project. When I was a new diver, DAN was my very first purchase so this, to me, is more than a business transaction. It is a recognition of ScubaDoRag™, it is spreading the DAN message in our stylish way and partnering with a quality mainstay of the dive industry.” See our collaboration, support DAN and send a photo to DAN’s “Where in the World is Dan?” in a DAN ScubaDoRag™.

See the DAN ScubaDoRag™ here:

ScubaDoRag™ offers custom printing and embroidery for resorts, dive operations, events and organizations. In our Quality knows Quality initiative, show the dive community you are quality by offering quality products proudly made in the USA. info [at] ScubaDoRag [dot] com.

We love photographers and those that love our products. Check out the beautiful work of W. Gregory Brown!

⇔Mon Oct 5 12:55:22 EDT 2009

Thanks for the gorgeous book, Greg!
www.wgregorybrown.com

Here is a testimonial from Greg:

“Hi Suuz,

As I mentioned, when your Business was just beginning, I purchased 2 Scuba Do-Rags at a DEMA Show. That was either in 2001 or 2002. I still have them both and they show very little wear - even after 7 years of almost daily use! I use them for multiple purposes. My Scuba Do-Rags have traveled with me around the world and I wear them above and below the water. I am placing an order for a couple more. My daughter has decided to borrow one of mine. She is an active spelunker and likes wearing them under her caving helmet. She also wears them while on dive trips.

And where do I use mine?

- In and out of the water while diving - they protect my neck and ears from sunburn and they dry quickly. They offer some thermal protection as well. www.wgregorybrown.com
- Rock climbing, photography, jogging, weight training - keeps perspiration out of my face (seems to have very good moisture-wicking properties) and, as mentioned, prevents sunburn. They work better than headbands and look a helluva lot cooler.
- As an aquatic biologist who spends a lot of time in the field and in a lab looking through a microscope, I find the Scuba Do-Rag useful for both activities.

I suppose my primary reason for emailing you is to let you know that, in my opinion, you have a wonderful product and offer great customer service - a rarity in the business world these days. Thanks again, Greg”

Shopping Cart Back-and there was much rejoicing!

⇔Fri Apr 30 00:13:05 EDT 2010

Much to my dismay and Suuz’ righteous indignation, yours truly was informed the site was down this morning. Our hosting company decided to upgrade us to software that made our shopping cart cry.

Everything’s up and running now and hopefully is even a tad more snappy. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you discover things misbehaving!

Please accept my sincere apologies for not catching this sooner, the time it took me to rush the cart upgrade, and for any problems you’ve had with the cart today. I am sorry and, in Truth & Style, remain,

Yours,

Come see us at Booth 1626.

We’re launching three new products and debuting ten new prints in addition to our already stellar line-up. And, we’re beside our good buddy, Chammyz. Please come enjoy the color and style we know. Visit the dive fashion capitol of the world–ScubaDoRag located at Booth 1626.

ScubaDoRag brings excitement, color and safety to your dives. After you buy your necessary gear, keep excited about diving and experience the color of ScubaDoRag products. ScubaDoRag introduces new products and new prints for lightweight and stylish travel.

Instead of complete dive skins, ScubaDoRag is making parts for your parts to dress and protect divers from head to toe. These Super Sleeves andSuper Legs customize, colorize and identify. These tested very well in recent trips to Tobago Underwater Carnival and in Cozumel, Mexico. Especially interesting was the application for photographers’ protection from stinging hydroids and jellies while trying to get that shot.

Super Sleeves and Super Legs take up very little space for lightweight travel, wear alone or use under to aid in donning the wetsuit or over a wetsuit for stylish identification. Be known by the ScubaDoRag print you wear as these coordinate with the rest of ScubaDoRag products.

Not only for exposure protection or identification with a shorty wetsuit underwater, but also protects exposed parts from the sun during all of your outdoor activities. Wear a short sleeve shirt and shorts and if you get hot or chilly or get too much sun, don as needed.

We also debut ScubaDo Hose Covers, originally developed for Poseidon Mk VI rebreathers, a great way to color code gear and upsell your customers. We also use them for BCD inflator hose. When there are 12 sets of gear lined up on a dock, guess whose shows up?

Come see us at DEMA Booth # 1626!
