Face mask

There are several factors you should consider when choosing a face mask for your scuba diving equipment. You must decide if diving is for you, whether it's for your hobby or a professional career. You should be able to breathe through your nose and allow water to drain from the bottom of the mask. A majority of diving masks have an edge tilting to the skirt that draws water away from the bottom. Some have a purge valve that can be used to empty the mask.


Submersible pressure gauge

The gauge indicates the air pressure inside their scuba tanks, current depth, dive duration, and direction. The gauge can be held on a console, or attached via high-pressurehose to the regulator. It is often easy to use and comes with a wristband. The submersible gauge measures the remaining air volume in a cylindrical. It's measured in Psi (pounds per square inch) in the United States.

Backplate

Divers are often misled into believing that a metal backplate is the best way to dive. The backplate's past is complex. Below are some facts you need to know about your backplate.

Compass

Scuba divers should always take a compass along with them when diving. There are several different types of compass available, but all require the diver to hold it in both hands.
