Equipment for diving

Underwater world attracts many of its mystery, unidentified, hidden danger. That is why diving is becoming an increasingly popular sport as an amateur hobby or professional occupation.

Sooner or later, if a person is really keen on diving, the idea of ​​buying your own diving equipment comes to mind. After all, the equipment available on the courses is unlikely to satisfy anyone, besides the appropriate size is not always available, well, and hygiene, after all, not everyone is pleased to realize that all this was used before you and will be used after.

That's when the dilemma arises, how to choose the equipment for diving. The advice of professional divers and your instructor can probably help you in choosing, but we will also try to facilitate this task.

Without haste

On the first wave of enthusiasm and, after the first classes with burning eyes, you urgently go to a specialized store, because "diving is cool, and I will definitely do this all my life!". Seeing your mood "caring" sellers will "pester you" and you will buy everything that only gets in your eyes. In the end, when enthusiasm goes on for a year or two, all this will be sold by you for 1/10 of the price, "just to fuse".

Firstly!

The complex of equipment for diving №1 is a mask, a tube, fins. Even if you "stop loving" diving, always and everywhere it will be nice to swim in your mask, in your flippers and with your pipe in your mouth. This is - not costly and necessary at the beginning of classes.

Second step

Then, buy your own security. That is - it's a compressor and scuba diving. You can not save on this (it's not a pipe for you), on the quality of this equipment, your life really depends, and you do not use aqualungs for a year, but year after year.

However, you can also win here by buying quality inventory and paying much less than expected. As in any other sport, there is a fashion in the aqualung. What will be fashionable at times more expensive, but what is simply qualitative, but not fashionable can be purchased at quite reasonable prices.

Next, buy the tanks for diving. First of all pay attention to the capacity. Depending on the depth to which you will dive, as well as your own weight, select the correct cylinder. Pay attention to the material of manufacture, the weight of the cylinder depends on this. The cylinder must have a B-disk. It is in all modern models, but the old ones need to be rechecked. Well, in the end, do not forget to check the connection with the scuba. If your aqualung is marked DIN or YOKE, then the cylinder must also be labeled accordingly.

Third step

Further it is important to buy an underwater computer. They are actually compact and tame, allow you to see the depth, the remainder of oxygen, the calculation of time, air and depth in proportion. This is really useful and essential for a diver.

After the computer - the final step is the purchase of a diving suit. Here, first of all, be guided by the place where you are going to swim: in your native cold ponds or in warm overseas.

Where can I buy?

You can buy equipment for diving by the instructor (they usually have discounts from shops), in special domestic stores (but most of them leave much to be desired in terms of assortment and prices), on the Internet. The latter option entices low prices and a wide choice. However, remember, if you order equipment from a foreign online store with a value above $ 1000, you will have to pay customs clearance. And this is not profitable at all.
