Scuba Supply Shops
The right scuba supplies can make or break your next dive, so be sure you are prepared before setting off on the boat. A quality scuba mask is crucial for visibility under the water. Modern scuba masks are made of lightweight plastic, glass or plastic lenses, and a silicone seal, unlike the flimsy neoprene masks of old. One item of scuba supplies that you cannot do without in cold weather is the wetsuit. The neoprene suit insulates you and keeps body heat trapped inside, minimizing heat loss in freezing water. It is also a good idea to wear a wetsuit to protect yourself from scrapes and bruises from reefs and rocks under the water.
Other important scuba supplies are the oxygen tank, regulator, and buoyancy control devices. Scuba tanks are usually in cylinder form and generally contain oxygen, but some specialized tanks contain other gases as well. The tank is attached to a buoyancy control device, commonly worn as a jacket. The jacket can be adjusted to make the diver more or less buoyant while under the water. A regulator is needed to convert the high pressure air from the tank into something that can be safely inhaled by the diver.
