Scuba Accessories

Scuba accessories are a category that includes anything non-essential to the dive being performed. Essential diving equipment includes a wetsuit or dry suit, flippers, a face mask, and an air supply & delivery system.  Accessories cover pretty much everything else, from gloves, gauges, and diving computers to lights knives, and utility belts.

Dive computers are a new addition to the scuba accessory repertoire, but one with great potential. With a computer program monitoring your air supply, pressure, depth, and temperature you can spend more time in the water doing the things you want to. Some diving computers can even monitor your heart rate, download topographical maps, and keep track of compass heading and GPS information.

Other scuba accessories are situation specific. Knives are always handy, but how many knife blades are made to resist the corrosion of salt water? There are specifically forged diving knives to do just that. How about a water resistant flashlight to check out that cool looking cave? You bet- some lights have depth ratings of over 1000 feet!
