Scuba Diving Gear

If you are new to the sport of diving, you may be curious about the purpose of a wetsuit. A wetsuit of some type is a critical component of most diving excursions. While many people equate a wetsuit with the idea of providing insulation, the ability of a wetsuit to provide abrasion protection and buoyancy should not be overlooked.

Foggy masks are a problem that every diver deals with, and one that has the potential to turn a great dive into a frustrating mess. Fortunately, there are a number of easy steps that you can take to stop a cloudy mask from ruining your dive, both before and during your undersea adventure.

Every swimmer knows that warm weather can be accompanied by cold water. And even if the water is warm at the surface, temperatures drop rapidly once you descend. Proper body temperature maintenance is an absolute must while underwater!

When diving deep under the water, scuba fins are necessary to provide a wide surface which can be pushed against the water to propel the diver forward. This gives the diver full control over their ability to move throughout the underwater environment. Similar fins can be seen on the tails of fish and other underwater creatures that are naturally adapted to the environment.
