Wet suits are the most common diving suits, since dry suits are most commonly worn in very cold waters. If you scuba in a tropical climate, you probably will want to invest in shorties, knee-length diving suits with short sleeves. Wet Suits Provide Thermal Protection in the WaterLook for Henderson suits with "hyperstretch," which is stretch neoprene that provides a custom fit divers of all shapes and sizes. Unlike traditional wetsuits, Henderson suits have more elasticity, shaping to the contours of your body. If your wet suit gives you a rash, wear a Lycra top and shorts underneath. Technical Diving Poses Special Risks, ChallengesDivers need to have the training, skills and experience to undertake a technical dive safely. PADI offers a technical arm of training, as do many other certifying agencies. Technical diving demands durable dive equipment built for rigorous use. Look for a well-established scuba dealer that carries quality brands, offers manufacturers' warranties and can ship dive equipment worldwide. Scuba Essentials Fascinate Gadget GeeksConsider your scuba BCD as life-support equipment. Of course, fit is important for a comfortable dive. But reliability is essential in allowing you to explore an alien world that does not support human life. If you are shopping for a gift for the favorite scuba diver in your life, consider packages of pre-selected diving equipment that may include a scuba bcd, regulator, octopus and gauge console. Invest in a BC That Fits Your Diving NeedsWhile some divers choose to rent a used scuba BC, it is wise for frequent divers to invest in the right BC for them. These devices are available in back inflation, jacket, and technical styles. An Oceanic BC -- like the Islander, Ocean Pro and Ladies Isla -- will offer quality design, comfort and fit. Millions of Americans Scuba DiveWith the diversity of diving trips offered today, enthusiasts can always find an outing to suit them. When planning for your trip, look for a variety of weight-integrated scuba BCDs (buoyancy compensator devices) through online divers supply shops. Many veteran divers choose state-of-the-art designs. |
