Scuba Dive Gear

Your scuba dive gear is important to your underwater safety. The most comprehensive piece of dive gear is your wetsuit. The wetsuit controls your body temperature to keep it from dropping too far in cold water conditions. Less well known but equally important is the fact that your wetsuit is abrasion resistant. You don’t want to get cut on that coral reef after all… there may be sharks around.

Another important yet obscure piece of scuba dive gear is your monitor. This apparatus is attached to your air supply and will monitor your usage, as well as reserve supply to estimate your remaining dive time. Sophisticated models can track other information, such as depth and estimated decompression stop times.

The all important tank makes another vital piece of scuba dive gear. Your tank should be checked for flaws or defects before each use. Always remember that it is your life on your back underwater, and treat it with care. Do not back into rocks or other sharp object that may puncture your tank, for that would be disastrous.
