Scuba Diving Equipment Information and Gear Guides
Scuba diving requires quite a bit of equipment. Good scuba diving equipment information can make the use and/or purchase of scuba gear a bit easier. I have written guides to several pieces of scuba gear. You can read each guide by clicking on the links below.
I will be writing more guides in the near future so check back (or better yet, subscribe to my blog so you know when I have added new information to this website).
Here you will learn how to find your best dive mask and snorkel. This guide will introduce you to the types and styles of dive masks, how to get the proper fit, how to care for and maintain your mask and how to keep it from fogging. You will also find information on a prescription mask if you need and/or want one. This is a great place to start since a mask can make or break a dive. You will also find info on the features of a snorkel, choosing the best snorkel and more. Click on the link for information on dive masks and snorkels.
What guide of information on scuba diving equipment would be complete without information on wetsuits? You will find lots of information here including how to buy and put on a wetsuit, a repair guide and how to care for your wetsuit. I have also prepared individual guides to wetsuit material, wetsuit thickness and sizes/fit. You should have all the information you need to know to get that perfect wetsuit. Click on the link for information on wetsuits.
My list of guides to scuba gear information continues with my pages on scuba fins and booties. Here you will find the different types and styles you will need to choose from. You will also learn how to get the proper fit and how to care for those scuba fins once you purchase them. The guide ends with information on scuba booties including boot thickness, soles, cut, size, fit and care and maintenance. Click on the link for information on fins and booties.
One of my favorite pieces of scuba gear. Without it, we'd be diving the tables and having very short dives! In these guides I give basic information on dive computers, including what questions to ask before purchasing your computer. The guide also discusses the different types and styles you can choose from. You will also find information on dive logs, software, batteries and, perhaps most importantly, price. Click on the link for information on dive computers.
A guide to what is probably the most important piece of scuba gear - your regulator. Here you can find out how the regulator works and keeps you breathing underwater. We also have a guide to show you what you should be looking for when choosing a regulator and how to get the best scuba regulator for you. Once you make that purchase, we give you tips on maintenance for your reg. After all, it is a sizable investment, you really should protect it.
A scuba BCD can be a big investment so we give you the info you need to know before laying out your hard earned cash. We take you through the basics of a buoyancy compensator, explain all the parts you will see, how to choose the best scuba BCD for you and how to care for that BC once you make the plunge and purchase one. Click on the link for information on scuba BCDs.
This guide begins with a primer on dive watches and goes on to discuss the different types of watches you will need to choose from. You'll also find information on watch care, maintenance and repair. I'll also give you my take on whether a cheap dive watch is a good idea or not. Click on the link for information on dive watches.
If you are new to diving and don't know or understand all the gear that is required, this page may be helpful. I list all the scuba gear you will need to dive and also explain how it all works. This is probably a good place to start if you are new to diving or need a refresher. Click on the link for my explanation of scuba gear.
Hopefully this scuba gear information will help make your diving a more enjoyable experience. I will be writing more guides, so check back if I haven't covered what you need. Also, you can search this site in the search bar below to find the information you are looking for.
