Scuba Diving Equipment

• MASK: A mask is one of the most important, and personal, pieces of scuba diving equipment you own because it lets you explore with your eyes.
• SNORKEL: A snorkel is a very personal piece of equipment. It lives with your mask, spends time in your mouth, and lets you breathe while you look below, until you are ready to submerge.
• FINS: There are separate fins for swimming, snorkeling, free diving and body surfing.
• BCD: Imagine scuba diving while hovering, weightless underwater – eye to eye with a fish. How is it possible? It starts with your buoyancy control device (BCD).
• WEIGHT SYSTEM: Most people float, which is great if you like to stay at the surface. However, scuba divers want to descend and they need a weight system to help them offset this tendency to float.
• REGULATOR: If you think about it, breathing underwater is pretty remarkable, and it all happens because of the regulator. 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.
• SPG (SUBMERSIBLE PRESSURE GAUGE): Your SPG displays how much air remains in your tank so that you can end your dive well before you get too low.
• DIVE COMPUTER: You can track your dives using dive tables, a depth gauge and dive watch, but most scuba divers use a dive computer – it’s easier.
• DIVE WATCH: In the 1970s and 1980s, divers wore dive watches because it was the standard way to track bottom time while scuba diving.
• DIVE KNIFE: A dive knife is a general tool that scuba divers occasionally use to cut entangling fishing lines or rap on their tanks to get a buddy’s attention.
• DIVE LIGHT: It is obvious that a dive light is necessary to scuba dive at night to help you navigate, see your gauges and observe the interesting aquatic life.
• SCUBA GEAR BAGS: Whether you are driving to your local dive site or getting on a plane headed for the tropics, a sturdy gear bag will help you organize, protect and carry your scuba diving equipment.
• WETSUITS AND DRY SUITS: These are used for exposure protection because while scuba diving you are not only exposed to the water’s cooling ability but also to things that can scrape, cut or sting.
• UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO EQUIPMENT: With the rise of digital photography capabilities, there are now numerous options for capturing images underwater.
• SCUBA ACCESSORIES: An accessory is defined as an item that can be added to something else to in order to make it more useful, versatile, or attractive.
• DIVE FLAG AND FLOAT: A dive flag indicates that scuba divers are nearby. In some areas, flying a dive flag while scuba diving is required by law, but in general it is a good idea for safety reasons.
• SIGNALING DEVICES: In the unlikely event that you are at the surface and need to get the attention of someone on shore or on a boat, you will be glad you have a surface signaling device.
• SCUBA TANK: High-pressure cylinders are relatively small, yet very strong containers that hold large volumes of compressed gas.
• REBREATHERS: Re-breathers reuse the gas you exhale by recycling the good part and replenishing it for your next breath.
• SIDEMOUNT: Scuba diving with a side-mount configuration simply means that you carry your tanks at your sides instead of on your back.
• TECHNICAL DIVING EQUIPMENT: Technical diving involves diving beyond normal recreational scuba diving limits.
