When you first start, you may all seem complex, but with some simple instruction, diving equipment soon make sense. Building on your diving skills and experience, so your dive kit. But as a new diver, here are the essentials that you will use
3. “Necessary gear you need”
Scuba Cylinder
Scuba Regulator
Wet suit
BCD (buoyancy control
device)
Weights
Dive Computer
Mask & Snorkel
Pair of fins
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. High-pressure cylinders are relatively small, yet very
strong containers that hold large volumes
of compressed gas.
9. 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.
10. 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..
11. 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.
