Buoyancy Control Device (BCD) - The buoyancy control device is a type of life jacket inflated by using air from the tank with a low pressure inflator. Air is released from it via a valve or hose. These actions assist your lungs in determining your level of suspension in the water.

Submersible Pressure Gauges & Computers (SPG) – SPGC is the essential air consumption monitor. Checking your SPGC regularly allows you to gauge your average air consumption during a dive so you can monitor temperance. In this way you can log how much air you use on the dive and how much too consciously consume in order to practically maximize your consumption on the next.

Scuba Masks - The mask is an underestimated piece of gear. Consider how much fun you would have with a mask alone and then alternatively, how every piece of your gear would not mean very little without it.

Scuba Snorkels - Aside from saving cylinder air when you are on the surface, snorkels allow you to breathe in rough surface conditions as well as assisting on the surface swim back to the boat or land, in the event that you run low on gas. They are attached to the left side of your mask with your regulator on the right.

Scuba Diving Regulators - This device typically provides regular air flow when you inhale from the pressurized air supply in your diving tank. It consists of what is referred to as two stages, the first being the mechanism that connects the various other hoses to the tank and the second stage is the mouthpiece.

Scuba Diving Wetsuits - Wetsuits are made of neoprene that acts like a sponge adding buoyancy without absorbing water. The insulation depends on the type of suit. Materials used for manufacture include rubber, PVC, open and closed-cell neoprene which contains low thermal conductive nitrogen gas allowing for the separated bubbles to trap heat, insulate and protect.

Scuba Diving Drysuits - A dry suit allows the diver not only to stay in the water for longer, but also to experience rarer dive sites - which are, not surprisingly, the colder ones.

Scuba Diving Cylinder or Tank - These life-supporting high pressure aluminum or steel air containers hold varying capacities of air from 8 to 15 liters.

Scuba Diving Accessories – The others accessories require to make your underwater tours more comfortable are Hoods, Gloves, Boots, Alternate Air Sources, Compass, Thermometer, Weights and Underwater Cameras.
