Fins

StarStarStarStar

Fins are worn on the feet to increase swimming efficiency and propulsion through the water, improving a diver's maneuverability.

StarStarStarStar

Buoyancy Control Device (BCD)

StarStarStarStar

A BCD is a jacket that can be inflated or deflated to control buoyancy in the water, aiding in ascending, descending, or maintaining neutral buoyancy.

StarStarStarStar

Scuba Tank

StarStarStarStar

A scuba tank contains compressed gas, typically air or enriched air nitrox, providing the diver with a breathable gas supply underwater.

StarStarStarStar

Wetsuit

StarStarStarStar

A wetsuit provides thermal protection to a diver through insulation, as well as offering a degree of abrasion resistance.

StarStarStarStar

Snorkel

StarStarStarStar

A snorkel is a tube that allows a diver to breathe while swimming face down on the surface, conserving tank air or when free diving.

StarStarStarStar

Depth Gauge

StarStarStarStar

A depth gauge measures the diver's depth underwater, which is essential for monitoring decompression limits and avoiding deep diving hazards.

StarStarStarStar

Submersible Pressure Gauge (SPG)

StarStarStarStar

An SPG displays the remaining air pressure in the scuba tank, allowing divers to manage their air supply during a dive.

StarStarStarStar

Diving Mask

StarStarStarStar

A diving mask creates an air space in front of the eyes, allowing for clear vision underwater. It also enables a diver to equalize the pressure in the air space as they dive deeper.

StarStarStarStar

Dive Computer

StarStarStarStar

A dive computer provides real-time dive information, such as depth, time, decompression status, and conserves dive profiles to optimize dive safety.

StarStarStarStar

Regulator

StarStarStarStar

A regulator reduces the high pressure in the scuba tank to ambient pressure and delivers breathable air to the diver when they inhale.

StarStarStarStar

Weight System

StarStarStarStar

A weight system helps divers achieve negative buoyancy, allowing them to descend underwater and counteract the buoyancy of other diving equipment.

StarStarStarStar

Dry Suit

StarStarStarStar

A dry suit is designed to prevent water from entering, keeping the diver dry and warm through insulation, particularly in cold water environments.
