The Scuba Gear is a diving equipment introduced in Metal Slug 3.
Information[]
The Scuba Gear is a set of diving gear used only on certain underwater areas of the series. The gear consists of only a glass diving helmet and an oxygen tank. Every Slug Mariner comes with a spare Scuba Gear for emergencies, in case the Slug has sustained heavy damage that the pilot has to eject and safely breathe underwater.
The player wearing the Scuba Gear can only fire horizontally. Unlike the Jetpack, they are able to turn around albeit slowly. Grenades are replaced by mines that drop in an arc and don't bounce. Their melee attack is a trident and are stabbed forward.

Trivia[]
- When idling:
- If using their pistols, Marco and Tarma's helmets completely cover itself in grime which they eventually wipe it off. Eri and Fio happily feed nearby fish.
- If using a special weapon, Marco and Tarma's guns get filled with water, and they unclog it with a wire. Eri and Fio yawn and stretch themselves awake. The unclog animations were reused for the Hoist despite not being underwater.
