How To Choose The Right Scuba Fins By: Laura Cain

When it comes to investing in your own pair of scuba fins, you have a plethora of choices from a number of manufacturers who continue to advance the engineering they use to produce the most durable, efficient fins possible. While the original, traditional full foot scuba fins are still popular among some people, there are many more styles available now. Most of the new styles of scuba fins are designed by using technical and involved mathematical angles and engineering so that the fin works to the divers advantage as far as efficiency and ease of use.Scuba Gear Fins

Choosing a Scuba BCD by Michael Ross Ault

This article was taken from Scuba Diving @ Suite101

The beginning scuba diver has a bewildering array of equipment to choose from, masks, snorkels, fins, regulators and BCDs all come to mind. Perhaps the most confusing choices of first time scuba purchases are in the areas of the buoyancy compensation device (BCD) and regulators. In this article we will examine the three basic types of BCDs and hopefully clarify which would be best for the type of diving the beginning scuba diver will be doing.

Scuba Diving Equipment - an overview   by David Leigh

Scuba diving equipment is designed to overcome the limits of human physiology in the submarine world and although the number of items may seem daunting to the beginner, everything has a clear purpose. Below we look at the main items of scuba diving equipment used in recreational diving. Mask Divers wear a face mask for the simple fact that it allows them to see underwater. The human eye is not designed to see in water, which has a different optical density to air. By simply having an air space between eyes and water the mask allows the diver to see, although the optical density means that all objects appear larger or closer when underwater. Traditionally masks were constructed from neoprene, which tended to age relatively quickly. Today’s scuba masks generally consist of a lightweight plastic frame, glass lenses and a silicone rubber skirt that seals against the face. Modern masks also allow a smaller volume of air between the water and the face, which is an advantage because it means it is easier to equalize the pressure in the mask and simpler to clear of water.
