There are a few key pieces of equipment that required for any dive, and some other equipment that is used for more challenging diving conditions.  Beginners and novice divers, however, will definitely need the following:

Mask
The human eye cannot see clearly through water so a pocket of air is    required to maintain vision when diving.  A diving mask is like a large pair of swimming goggles with a silicone seal all the way round.  It also includes a silicone pocket/seal for the nose, to prevent the wearer inadvertently trying to breathe through their nose and sucking in water instead.  Diving masks are built to withstand the greater pressures found underwater, so a snorkelling mask is not suitable for diving.

Fins

Divers get quite shirty if you refer to fins as “flippers”, so be sure to get your terminology right!  Physical effort, such as swimming, uses energy and to fuel that energy oxygen is required, which is why people breathe more heavily when doing exercise.  Underwater, the diver wishes to conserve energy to make the air in his cylinder last longer.  Fins, therefore, are used to make swimming underwater as effortless as possible.  Fins are large, flexible blades attached to the feet, which provide maximum propulsion through the water for minimum physical effort.  There are two basic types of fins: shoe fins fit onto the bare foot like a slipper, strap fins have a foot pocket with a strap that fits around the heel and are worn with boots.

Protective Clothing
Even in warm water, some form of protective clothing is required.  There are four main types:-
•    A skin suit is a thin layer that just protects the body from abrasion, either from the equipment worn or from brushing against rocks, corals etc.  A skin suit is only worn in the warmest water.
•    A wet suit provides some thermal protection as well as protecting against abrasion.  Wet suits are available with long or short arms and legs and in a range of thicknesses.  Made of neoprene, a wet suit allows water to flush through it, holding a thin layer next to the skin, which the body warms, providing some defence against slightly cooler water temperatures.
•    A semi-dry suit is rather like a wet suit but has seals around the neck, wrists and ankles.  Water ingresses into the suit and is then trapped there to be warmed by the body.  A semi dry suit offers greater thermal protection than a wet suit.
•    A dry suit is used for cold water diving and allows no water to ingress at all.  A dry suit has built in boots and seals around the wrists and neck; inside the suit the body stays dry.  Additional thermal protection is worn underneath a dry suit, in the form of warm under layers.  Dry suits are made either from neoprene or a trilaminate membrane; neoprene suits tend to be slightly warmer than membrane, although membrane suits allow greater freedom of movement.  When diving in cold water, neoprene hoods and gloves are usually also worn for warmth.  Special training is required before diving in a dry suit.

Buoyancy Compensation Device
There are several types of buoyancy compensation device (BCD), variously known as BCDs, BCs (buoyancy compensators), stab (stabilizer) jackets and wings.  All work in the same way.  The BCD is worn like a jacket and consists of internal air bladders, a hose for adding or extracting air from the bladders, a loop system for holding an air cylinder and usually some pockets and D-rings for holding other pieces of equipment.  The air that is added to or taken out of the internal bladders controls buoyancy underwater and the rate of descent and ascent to and from the surface.

Weights
A human being is naturally buoyant, and even when carrying a heavy dive cylinder will not automatically sink under the water.  To counteract this natural buoyancy, therefore, divers wear lead weights, either on a belt, in a harness or in the pockets of their BCD.  Whilst underwater a small amount of air is added to the BCD to keep the diver off the bottom, or at the depth they have chosen, and whilst on the surface the BCD is filled with air to counteract the negative effect of the weights.

Cylinders
Contrary to popular belief, diving cylinders to do NOT contain oxygen, they contain air.  The air is compressed and held in the cylinder under pressure (measured in either pounds per square inch (psi) or bar) by a valve on the top.  Cylinders are usually made of steel or aluminium and come in a range of sizes, measured in cubic feet or litres.  The advantage of a larger cylinder is that it contains more air, and therefore the diver can stay underwater longer; the disadvantage is the heavier weight.  All diving cylinders must be periodically inspected and tested by independently accredited testing facilities to ensure they are safe.

Regulators
Regulators, often referred to simply as “regs”, are more properly called “a set of regulators”, since there are several component parts.  The air in the cylinder is held at very high pressure, which a human being cannot breathe, so the “first stage”, which includes a clamp that attaches to the cylinder, reduces the pressure of the air to around 140psi/10 bar above ambient pressure (ambient pressure increases with depth).  Attached to the first stage are a series of high pressure hoses.  In a typical set up for a novice diver, one of the hoses will be the “feed” for the BCD, one will accommodate the mouthpiece (or “demand valve”), one an alternative air source (also known as an “octopus”) and one a contents gauge.
•    The Demand Valve (DV) delivers breathable air to the diver via a mouthpiece.  The DV reduces the air pressure further to match the ambient pressure. The diver breaths in and out through the DV, the exhaled air being expelled through an exhaust on the DV, producing the characteristic bubbles associated with breathing underwater.
•    The octopus is a second DV to be used by a diving buddy in the case of emergency.  It is usually bright yellow in colour for easy identification underwater.
•    The contents gauge shows the diver how much air is left in the cylinder and is usually a round dial with a needle to point to the appropriate level.  Sometimes content gauges can be combined with other instruments in a console, which might include a depth gauge and/or a compass.

Computer
Nearly all modern divers use a computer.  The computer is worn on the wrist like an oversized watch and has many functions.  The computer will tell the diver his depth, how long he has been diving and how long he can remain underwater without the need for decompression stops on ascent.  It also measures the rate of ascent back to the surface (it is very important to control this as ascending too quickly can cause decompression sickness, also known as “the bends”).  The computer has other functions such as calculating decompression stops and some can also be used for accelerated decompression using a mixture of breathing gases, but these are advanced techniques and therefore need not concern the beginner.

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is IMPERRATIVE that anyone considering scuba diving undertakes proper training with a recognised training body.  None of the equipment mentioned in this article should be used without instruction.  With proper training, scuba diving is a fun, exciting, pleasurable hobby; without, it can be very dangerous indeed.

Measuring the effectiveness and business impact of sales training should be rigorous, but also practical. Many tools are available from the two traditions of educational inquiry - qualitative and quantitative - and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

In the qualitative research method, you collect in-depth data from a limited number of sources (e.g., sales training participants and their managers). For example, you attend and observe the training session, conduct in-depth interviews with participants, and observe their behaviors on the job through attending their sales calls. You may also interview a handful of their customers to explore their behavioral changes post training, or interview sales managers to explore behavioral changes in their sales reps on the job and to gauge the impact of their new behaviors on metrics such as revenue, sales cycle, etc. The resulting qualitative data is analyzed and reported through business impact cases and direct quotations from participants, managers, or customers.

In the quantitative research method, you collect large quantities of data through surveys and data extracts from corporate databases (e.g., HR or sales), and you use statistical analysis technique to measure participant satisfaction, learning, and impact of participants' behavioral changes on metrics such as customer satisfaction, sales quota attainment, and retention of the sales force. Sometimes performance of those who attended sales training is compared to those who did not, and statistical analysis techniques are used to determine whether investment in sales training made a difference. The results in quantitative research methods are reported through graphic representation of customer satisfaction over a period of time before, during, and after implementation of a sales training program or in tables that represent quota attainment of those who attended training versus those who did not. (See McMillan and Schumacher (1997) and Marshall and Rossman (1995) for more detail on these two methodologies.)

Introducing a Blended Methodology to Measure Sales Training Impact

Both quantitative and qualitative methods have strengths and weaknesses. The methodology described in this Infoline uses a blended approach that capitalizes on each tool's benefits while avoiding its shortcomings. In this way, the methodology effectively manages the complexity of measuring the business impact of sales training programs.

Overview of the Methodology

Implementation of the methodology results in a six-phase process:

Phase 1: Context Discovery & Metrics Definition

This phase of the process consists of two steps - defining measurement requirements and preparing a "business value chain." These two steps are critical to the success of the measurement effort because they help build management buy-in for your measurement efforts. They also define the scope of the measurement effort, customize the process to the needs of your organization, and build a blueprint for your measurement activities by determining what to measure (i.e., learning outcomes, desired behaviors on the job, and metrics impacted by application of what was learned in the program).

Phase 2: Research Design & Instrumentation

This phase enables you to define the types and sources of needed data, create a research design that enables you to collect and analyze valid and reliable data, and construct data collection instruments. Successful completion of this phase ensures that you collect the right data, from the right sources, at the right time, in the right way, and with the right tools.

Phase 3: Sampling

This phase consists of the critical step of selecting representative samples of sales training participants and non-participants and their managers, peers, and customers. It is impractical, expensive, and unnecessary to collect data from all participants in sales training. Using appropriate sampling techniques enables you to collect a manageable set of data and to generalize the findings to the broader population.

Phase 4: Data Collection & Analysis

This phase is the most labor-intensive part of the process. It is when you collect and analyze data, validate the findings, and formulate recommendations for continuous improvement of the training program. It consists of four steps:

• Testing business metrics data collection procedures and collecting baseline data
• Collecting data on achievement of learning objectives, resulting behavioral changes, and business metrics
• Analyzing data and identifying areas for improvement
• Triangulating data from multiple sources to ensure valid inferences and recommendations

Phase 5: ReportingThis phase is the most visible phase of the measurement process. This is when you communicate measurement findings, conclusions, and recommendations through reports and presentations to key stakeholders and members of the organization. Clear, objective, and persuasive communication of findings and recommendations is critical to demonstrate not only the value of the sales training program but also the value of the measurement effort. Audiences for this communication include:

• Sales training managers - to demonstrate accountability to business sponsors who have invested in the program
• Design and deployment team - to celebrate their contribution to creating value for the organization through development of effective and high-impact sale training programs and through implementation of the recommendations for continuous improvement
• Business sponsors and sale managers - to appreciate the value generated through investment in sales training

Phase 6: Data Storage & Security

Measurement of the effectiveness of sales training and especially of its business impact is not a once-and-for-all-time effort. For some programs, such as those that continue in the organization over time, you need to revisit the data collected to build trends and to measure the continuing contribution of the program. Because the data will be needed in the future, it is imperative to store it securely. The sensitivity and confidentiality of HR and business data requires that you take the necessary steps to ensure it is secure.
