My name is Sven Dinser, I am the founder and owner of D-Luxe Dive Gear, based in Mengen, Southern Germany. At the end of 2015, with the evolution of my diving career from sport diving to technical diving, from backmount to sidemount I was looking for straps to hold the hoses on the SM tanks.

Of course, there were some strap/bands on the market that were already mass produced in the US, but unfortunately far too many of them were made with a focus on saving money. The cost was high, but the materials were not durable and the shipping costs to get the straps to Europe were way too expensive, so that did not work for me.
The rubber bands or bungees, cheap and easy to find, was also not a solution for me, as they did not give the desired result. I searched in vain for straps that, hold the tubes tightly without slipping, twisting and breaking.

Therefore I decided to design and manufacture my own products. Through the great support from my dive buddies – friends who are now also part of the D-Luxe Dive Gear team and do testing, consulting and promotion for me in the diving community I founded D°LUXE Dive Gear in January 2016.

A good knowledge of diving equipment and over 20 years of experience in sewing heavy materials helped me to produce confidently and efficiently.

What I envisioned was a delivery of a great value product, a small batch manufacturing process that could ensure quality and would allow to
customise the straps according to customers’ needs. – colours, size, names etc.

Our mission became to make products without compromise.
Thankfully, we found a like-minded community, and thanks to your support and loyalty, we are still independent and having the best time of our lives.
