Stainless Steel Double-Ender — Essential Multi-Purpose Clip for Scuba Divers

The stainless-steel double-ender is one of the most versatile tools in any diver’s kit. Designed for durability and ease of use, these clips provide quick, reliable attachment points for a wide variety of applications. Available in multiple sizes, they allow divers to match the right tool to their specific configuration and environment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Smooth bolt action for effortless one-handed use

• Available in multiple sizes to suit different gear applications

• Compact and reliable design for everyday diving needs

Detailed Description

A double-ender may look simple, but its role in diving is anything but. Technical, cave, and recreational divers alike rely on these rugged stainless-steel clips to secure, stow, and streamline equipment underwater. From stage bottle management to securing accessories, a properly chosen double-ender is often the difference between a smooth, efficient dive and a frustrating experience.

Applications by Size:

• 3″ Double-Ender – The most compact version, perfect for small accessories such as wetnotes, slates, backup masks, or keeping pockets organized. Many divers also use this size to clip off items inside pouches where minimal bulk is critical.

• 3.75″ Double-Ender – A highly versatile mid-size option, commonly used with spools and reels, SMBs, and lift bags. Its size strikes the ideal balance - large enough for gloved hands while still compact enough to avoid snagging. This is often the go-to choice for divers who want one clip to cover multiple scenarios.

• 4″ Double-Ender – The largest version, designed for cold-water or heavy-duty applications where gloves reduce dexterity. Ideal for securing stage bottles, DPV tow leashes, or heavier gear items, the larger body and gate provide extra leverage and ease of handling in challenging conditions.

Each size serves a specific purpose, and experienced divers often carry a mix to cover different needs. For example, a diver may keep a 3″ in a pocket for wetnotes, a 3.75″ attached to a spool, and a 4″ on standby for handling bulkier items during cave or wreck dives.

Like bolt snaps, double-enders are indispensable for maintaining a clean, organized kit. Their strength, reliability, and ease of use make them a universal tool that every diver should carry as part of their standard configuration.
