Dive Gear FAQs
I want to dive on my next vacation. Do I need to purchase any pieces of diving gear?
No, you do not need to purchase any diving gear. However, you may want to. Some of the basic pieces of equipment that you will need are a mask, fins, suit, and tank. Many of these items can be purchased or rented from a dive shop that is located in the area where you are vacationing.
How do I find the right size scuba mask?
Fitting a scuba mask can be difficult. You need to be sure that the suction is good, and the mask will not fill up with water when you are submerged. Experts at local dive shops in your area can assist you with finding the appropriate fit for a mask.
I love looking at underwater creatures, but I do not want to get too close. What items do I need to try snorkeling?
Snorkeling is a great way to see underwater without getting too close to the wildlife. But use caution: the marine animals may try to get close to you. You may want to think of snorkeling with a guide until you become familiar with an area. For basic equipment you will need: a mask, snorkel, fins, suit, and a buoyancy control device. All of these items can be purchased or rented at any well-stocked dive shop.
