8 Basic Scuba Gear Essentials

Before embarking on a scuba diving trip, there are seven basic essentials that you will need. Knowing the reason for and function of each piece of equipment functions is the first step to developing an eye for quality scuba gear .

1. Diving Masks – The scuba mask acts as underwater glasses, keeping water out of the diver's eyes and allowing clear vision while diving. Depending on your diving preferences, masks are available in many forms.

1. Fins – Mimicking the fins of a fish, fins increase a diver's propulsion while swimming. Diving fins are available in an open heel design which allows the inclusion of adjustment straps and diving boots for greater underwater protection.

1. Snorkel – The snorkel device is an extended airway that allows divers to continually view the underwater landscape without having to come up for air.

1. Wetsuit – The classic image of a scuba diver wouldn't be complete without a wetsuit. Wetsuit styles and compositions vary depending on the type of diving for which they are intended to be used. The function of wetsuit scuba gear is to keep the body insulated while underwater.

1. Buoyancy Compensator – Resembling a vest, a buoyancy compensator is used to bring the diver and equipment to the surface. Commonly referred to as the “BC” in scuba gear terminology, the buoyancy compensator can be simple or elaborate depending on the type of diving for which it is used.

1. Regulator – The diving regulator controls air flow from the tank for advanced scuba diving. Different regulators or regulator ports should be used at different diving depths.

1. Dive Measuring Device – A dive measuring device can be found on a diving watch, or on the more advanced diving computer. This essential piece of scuba gear alerts the diver to decompression limits and dangerous diving depths.
