Your Dive Equipment<\/h2>\n

Beginners scuba dive gear includes the following:<\/p>\n

Scuba Wetsuit<\/b> \u2013 this keeps you warm underwater, comfortable, and safe. Find a style that moves naturally with your body. And look for features such as diagonal zips that make putting the suit on and taking it off really easy.<\/p>\n

High-quality compression resistant nylon and dry-lock wrist seals<\/b> will keep the water out. Adjustable collars, flexible knee pads, and internal thermo plush lining are all extras to look out for. Try on your scuba diving clothing to ensure a perfect fit.<\/p>\n

Scuba Mask<\/b> \u2013 a good scuba mask will provide the best field of vision possible, alongside comfort without leaking. Frameless designs with soft seals are popular. As are double skirt designs for added comfort.<\/p>\n

UV and chlorine resistant straps, hypoallergenic rubber, and additional soft silicone around the nose<\/b> are all beneficial.<\/p>\n

When choosing your mask, it\u2019s recommended that you tilt your head down. Place the mask against your face. Then let go. If the mask stays put it\u2019s a good fit.<\/p>\n

Dive Fins<\/b> \u2013 opt for those with bungee straps that make them quick and easy to put on and take off. Or go for split fins with articulated joints that reduce drag and maximise thrust.<\/p>\n

High-quality monprene<\/b> gives a great performance. And marine grade stainless steel straps and buckles are very appealing. Soft foot pockets help keep fins comfortable and help to prevent blisters.<\/p>\n

Dive Regulators<\/b> \u2013 scuba gear setup isn\u2019t complete without a good diving regulator. The pressure regulator will reduce pressurised breathing gas to ambient pressure and deliver it to you. This allows you to dive safely and comfortably breathe.<\/p>\n

Reliable regulators can offer up to five low-pressure ports and two high-pressure ports on swivelling stages. All-metal designs and oil-filled environmental seals are options. Look for compact, lightweight, and soft cover hoses for maximum comfort.<\/p>\n

Dive Computers<\/b> \u2013 for your first computer choose one that features a super bright display, and is easy to use. Your personal decompression meter will measure the time and depth of your dive so that you can ascend safely.<\/p>\n

Large digits, single button navigation, and an easy to read display are all you need to begin with.<\/p>\n
