Each of these pieces of equipment is important in different situations. These pieces will ensure you are safe diving. But how do I know what items to get?

Face mask

Consider these factors when you are choosing a mask to use as part of your scuba dive equipment. No matter whether you dive for enjoyment or as a profession, it is important to think about the purpose of your mask. You should be able to breathe through your nose and allow water to drain from the bottom of the mask. Many diving masks have a tilted skirt edge, which forces water from the bottom. A few masks also have a one-way purge valve.


Submersible pressure gauge

The gauge indicates the air pressure inside their scuba tanks, current depth, dive duration, and direction. The gauge can be attached to the regulator via a high-pressure hose or held on a console. The gauge is usually easy to use, and may include a wristband. The submersible pressure gauge displays the amount of air remaining in a cylinder and is measured in pounds per square inch (Psi) in the United States.

Backplate

You can stay underwater safe by using scuba diving equipment's backplate. Although the standard backplate is made of metal for technical divers, it's not recommended that everyone dive with it. Many new divers are misled into thinking that a metal backplate is the only way to dive. The backplate's past is complex. The following are facts and figures about your backplate.

Compass

A scuba diver should always have a compasse with him when he dives. There are many different types of compasses, but they all require the diver's hands to be fully open. The most widely used type is the compass that is mounted on a computer console. This type is most useful for survey work, as you must be level to get an accurate bearing. However, it can prove difficult to use underwater.
