Why does La Bombona Diving sell dive masks on Koh Lipe?
A mask is one of the easiest things to forget when you’re packing for a dive holiday — it’s small, it doesn’t feel essential until you’re standing on a boat without one. For a long time, finding a decent replacement on Koh Lipe itself was genuinely difficult. That’s the specific reason La Bombona Diving brought Dive Ventures to the island: so divers weren’t stuck if their mask leaked, cracked, or simply got left at home.
Since the shop opened, Bryan says it’s come up far more than expected — mask questions are one of the most common things people bring up once they realise the shop exists.
What brand of mask is in stock?
XDEEP. It’s part of the wider Dive Ventures range at the dive centre, alongside fins, wetsuits and other gear from OMS, Sharkskin and Orcatorch.
How do I check what’s in stock before I arrive?
Message on WhatsApp. There’s no online store or ordering system — stock on a small island shop can shift, so it’s worth checking ahead if you want a specific mask or size.
