Pair of fins
Mask: It is one of the most important, and personal, pieces of
scuba diving equipment you own because it lets you explore
with your eyes
Snorkel: It lives with your mask, spends time in your mouth, and lets you breathe while you look below, until you’re ready to submerge on scuba
You’ll want fins for scuba diving because you’ll be much more comfortable with fins designed to move you and your gear through the water with minimal
effort and maximum efficiency
It’s called exposure protection because while scuba diving you’re not only exposed to water’s cooling
ability but also to things that can scrape, cut or sting.
The scuba regulator is a great invention that delivers the air from your scuba tank to you just the way you
need it to breathe.
High-pressure cylinders are relatively small, yet very strong containers that hold large volumes
of compressed gas.
A BCD does exactly what its name describes – it gives you control in the water. Sometimes you want to float on the surface comfortably. Occasionally, you want to
kneel or stand on the bottom, sometimes during a training course.
The Scuba diver must be weighted so that he or she is negatively buoyant by default, and then adjust the amount of air in his or her Buoyancy Compensation Device (BCD) in order to achieve neutral or positive
buoyancy as needed..
A dive computer takes depth and time information and applies it to a decompression model to track the dissolved nitrogen in your body during a dive. Your
computer continuously tells you how much dive time you safely have remaining.
