How do I properly handle my scuba diving gear?

Optimizing Your Dive Gear

From a cave diving course, I learned the importance of streamlining, and "tightening up" my dive gear. For scuba diving safety, avoid dangling hoses, straps, or other items that might entangle you in kelp, a wreck, the reef, or just catch onto the seat of the dive boat as you are making your entry. Eliminate the "dangerous dangles" and you will be a safer, better, and more accomplished scuba diver.
