Plunging into the endless expanses of the depths of the sea, you can join the beauties of the world, inaccessible to a land observer. Scuba diving, however, is not as safe as traveling on the surface of the Earth. To make diving into the depths more comfortable, stock up on the necessary equipment.
It is necessary
- - mask;
- - breathing tube;
- - fins;
- - wetsuit;
- - compressed air cylinder;
- - pressure regulator;
- - compensator;
- - lamp;
- - knife.
Instructions
Step 1
Find a snorkeling mask. It provides a layer of air between the diver's eyes and the water column, allowing you to observe the underwater world around you clearly and without significant distortion. Some models of masks are equipped with a device for automatic pressure equalization at significant depths.
Step 2
Get a breathing tube. If you dive without scuba gear, it will allow you to breathe without effort, and scuba divers use such tubes so as not to waste the breathing mixture from the cylinder when they are on the surface of the water.
Step 3
Choose fins that allow you to move efficiently underwater, translating the leg muscles into powerful strokes. The liquid is many times denser than air, therefore, devices in the form of fins significantly increase the speed when repulsed from the layers of water.
Step 4
For more comfort when diving, stock up on a wetsuit. It protects the body from cooling by not allowing the water to take away heat. The designs and types of diving suits may vary. The main requirement for a wetsuit is ease of use. Make sure that the suit you like is free of movement and fits snugly to your body.
Step 5
If you intend to dive in earnest, additionally purchase a compressed air cylinder, pressure regulator and compensator. The compensator is used to attach all equipment, allows you to carry the balloon effortlessly, keeps the swimmer on the surface or creates neutral buoyancy at depth.
Step 6
Use a multifunctional knife and flashlight as additional equipment. These items weigh a little, but make scuba diving more convenient, especially when diving is planned at night and in unfavorable conditions, for example, when examining caves or sunken ships.
