Scuba diving equipment has evolved to become sophisticated, incredibly safe, reliable and high performance. There’s a massive range of options and features available, to allow scuba diving in any environment.

To familiarize you with how a set of scuba diving gear works, we’ll run you through a basic set, and discuss what options and features would be suitable for warm water Koh Tao diving.

How Does Scuba Gear Work: A Typical Koh Tao Diving Setup

Scuba Cylinder

Firstly we need somewhere to store the air which we’ll be breathing whilst underwater. Scuba cylinders or tanks) come in a range of sizes and materials. Scuba diving Koh Tao we opt for aluminum cylinders, which are resistant to the corrosive salty ocean conditions, compressing air into 12 litre cylinders at two hundred time normal atmospheric pressure (200 bar). That volume of air allows an average diver to dive for about 45 minutes at normal recreational depths, (factoring in a safety margin).

Regulator – First Stage

This is the bit which attaches to the valve of the scuba cylinder. Since the air inside the cylinder is at two hundred times normal pressure, we need to reduce that pressure down to make it breathable. This is the job of the regulator first stage. Most first stages reduce down the pressure to about ten bar above ambient water pressure (called the intermediate pressure), which is then fed down to the ….

Regulator - Second Stage

This is the bit that you put in your mouth and breathe from. The second stage contains a large diaphragm which the surrounding water pressure pushes on. What that does is adjust the intermediate pressure (delivered from the first stage) to exactly the same pressure as the surrounding water. The result is that when you breathe in, a valve opens and allows air to flow freely. When you stop breathing in or exhale, the valve remains closed allowing you to conserve your air supply.

Regulator - Alternate Air Source

In case your buddy has an equipment problem, you also have a alternate second stage attached to your first stage, which means in the event of an emergency your buddy can also breathe from your cylinder. This is one of the reasons why it’s always a good idea to stick with a buddy when scuba diving.

Buoyancy Control Device - BCD

Obviously we need a way of keeping the cumbersome cylinder attached to us, so the BCD is a robust jacket which allows you to strap the cylinder to your back. The BCD also has a second important function. You can adjust the amount of air inside the jacket so that you hover motionlessly in mid water and control your position underwater. Whilst at the surface you can inflate the BCD to avoid swimming to stay afloat, and save energy.

Wetsuit

Your body looses heat about twenty times faster in water than air, so you’ll need to wear some kind of exposure protection to keep warm. The good news is, Koh Tao diving has very warm water – usually about 30C. That means during the Padi open water course we usually wear a 2.5mm neoprene ‘shorty’ wetsuit , which keeps us comfortable during the dives.

Weights

The bad news is that neoprene is buoyant (as is body fat),  so to be able to descend underwater we have to carry some lead weights. The easiest way to do this (adopted by most Koh Tao dive schools) is to attach the lead to a weight belt which you secure around your waist prior to each dive.

Scuba Diving Mask

Your eyes can’t focus in water, so you need to wear a mask to be able to see when diving. If you have a little spare cash and plan to invest in piece of scuba diving gear of your own, make sure you buy a mask. A good diving mask makes all the difference to your Koh Tao diving experience – if you can see properly you’ll have a much better time!

Diving Fins

With all this gear, it becomes a bit tricky getting around underwater. To make life easier we wear large, rigid diving fins which take all the effort out of swimming, allowing us to maintain our air supply and explore the Koh Tao dive sites with ease.

Personally I blame Jacques Cousteau. Ever since watching his programs on undersea exploration during the late 60s and 70s (when I was at an impressionable age) I have had the urge to learn to scuba dive. It's been sitting there in the back of my mind for nearly 40 years and finally I am doing something about it.

Nowadays, although scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) diving is still classed as an extreme sport by most holiday insurance companies, scuba diving has very much come of age and is a well regulated and popular international hobby.

I think the itch to finally do something about learning to scuba dive really started playing up again a couple of years ago when I was on holiday in the Canaries. Outside a couple of the hotels there were big rectangular flags sporting wavy blue lines and the letters PADI. This is the acronym for the professional Association of Diving Instructors and seems to be the main international body that provides training and certification in diving skills.

Their 'Open Water Diver' course and level of qualification seems to be the basic qualification that is required if you want to be able to hire scuba gear while on holiday, as most diving suppliers will only let you rent gear if you have this level of training and certification.

Getting the qualification involves three phases of activity. Firstly there is the book/classroom type learning covering basics of diving and understanding scuba gear. The second stage is in-water exercises in a confined and safe environment, usually a pool. These involve getting familiar with the equipment and developing the practical skills to deal with a variety of emergency situations (like retrieving your mouthpiece and clearing you mask). The third phase is actual diving under supervision, in which you get to take to the open water to experience diving under the supervision of an instructor who is also rating you to see whether or not you can be certified as able to dive without this level of close supervision.

The beauty of these courses is that they can be split across different venues. The book learning is probably the most accessible component, particularly since PADI now do an online course that you can subscribe to. Alternatively you could do this part of the course with a local dive school. For example, in West London (where I live) there are a variety of dive schools, some with specialized deep-water pools, which offer full PADI open water diver certification courses. These courses cover all three of the learning stages outlined above and it seems to make sense to do at least the first two, the academic and pool-based learning locally. This will allow me to benefit from the convenience of scheduling in the training when it suits me without wasting part of my holiday on it. The third phase, the open water diving, can also be done through these schools but PADI runs an international credit transfer system where you can do different parts of the training in different places. This means I can do my book learning and pool dives locally and then book up for the open water part at one of the dive schools while I am on holiday. So I get to complete my training in the beautiful tropical waters where I actually want to dive.

This is the plan but before I do anything further, it's worth checking that I really am happy with the practice rather than just the idea of scuba diving. Apart from signing up for the full PADI course, most dive schools also offer brief scuba diving 'taster' sessions. These sessions give you the chance to try out scuba gear and get the experience of being under water (and finding out if you like it) before committing to a proper course of study. What's more, any time spent in the water and skills learnt are also transferrable credits that count towards getting my open water diver certification if, after experiencing the taster session, I decide I really do want to turn my dream into reality.

It's always a little scary pursuing something that you've quietly wanted to do for years but I think it's finally time to take the plunge, so to speak.

Apart from hoping he's not getting out of his depth with this scuba diving stuff, Richard Atkins is a former lecturer, computer programmer and nowadays an occasional writer. If you are interested in trying out scuba diving, you can book everything from taster sessions through to shark diving experiences at FindExperienceDays.com.

Don’t let sight restrictions prevent you from enjoying the wonderful sea life on your next scuba dive or snorkeling experience. Make sure you take advantage of every way possible to increase your field of vision.

Many of us suffer from nearsightedness (trouble seeing things at a distance) or farsightedness (trouble seeing things up close). In everyday life people deal with these problems by wearing some kind of corrective lenses like glasses or contacts. Another way that is becoming increasingly popular is laser surgery on the eye that restores good vision without any future dependency on corrective lenses. This procedure can cost many thousands of dollars and most insurance companies don’t cover this type of surgery.

Seeing underwater is a different story. Contact lenses can be worn when scuba diving because the mask provides an air pocket between your eyes and the water. The most common and economical contacts are disposable soft lenses. These are the best to use when scuba diving or snorkeling because if your mask gets knocked off or floods for any reason it’s not costly to replace any lost lenses. Some contact wearers keep a spare set with their scuba gear in the scuba mask case.

A very important part of your scuba diving equipment is the mask. It helps provide a clear range of vision for the diver. Many scuba diving masks can be purchased with corrective lenses prescribed for that persons needs. Check with your optometrist once a year to get the prescription you require. Generally the optical lenses are available in a wide range from -1.0 to -8.5 (for nearsighted) and +1.0 to +4.0 (for farsighted). The lenses can be made of either plastic or glass. Keep this in mind when you look for a suitable scuba diving mask.

You Should See What You’re Missing

One of the most satisfying feelings of scuba diving is observing marine life in its natural surroundings. Don’t cut corners when it comes to your scuba gear; get what is most conforming to your needs.

Let’s face it, the time you have underwater is precious and limited. Don’t be inconvenienced and waste valuable time fixing problems with a scuba mask on your next scuba dive or snorkeling experience. It can also be embarrassing if you hold up the entire diving group or miss the dive altogether because of faulty scuba gear.

There’s a lot more to consider when investing in a scuba diving mask than you might think. Everyone has a unique face and head shape. It’s important that the mask conform to your face and create a water tight seal. A mask that doesn’t seal properly can be very frustrating and limit the enjoyment on your trip.

Here is a good way to test for a suitable fit. Take the mask and put it on your face (the way it will be when diving) without the strap used to hold it. Inhale slowly and the mask should stay put. If inhaling harder is required or the mask falls off, most likely this isn’t a good fit. The goal is to restrict the amount of water seeping into the scuba mask to as little as possible.

Comfort is also important when it comes to scuba gear. Be sure the silicone strap fits nicely around your head and doesn’t pull your hair. Adjustments of the strap can be made on both sides of the mask to achieve the best comfort while diving.

Another option to consider is the type of lenses in the mask. Two basic choices are the side-view lenses or the flat regular type. Side-view lenses can improve your field of vision.  If you wear glasses a good idea is getting a mask with optical lenses prescribed to your needs.

Try to prevent a difficult and possibly dangerous situation before it happens. When purchasing scuba equipment or snorkeling gear, do your homework and get what is necessary to meet your recreational requirements.

This fog wiper is a manual device that allows the user to slide a magnet on the outside of the glass, causing an inside magnet to move in unison and wipe off fog. SIMPLE! This product works even with prescription lens masks. Note that the unit price (quantity=1) is for ONE pair of magnets; If your mask has two separate lenses, you must order TWO pairs. Wide-i fog wipers for swimming goggles, professional dive helmets, and fire fighter masks, are also available at Amazon.

Scuba Diving Mask
scuba diving gear?

ok im buying some gear for SCUBA diving and i found a snorkel, fin, and mask set. I would like to know if its any good. Heres the link to the product.

Depends what kind of diving you are doing and where you will be diving. I would never buy a black silicone mask unless I was into underwater photography. Having the silicone rubber all black will cut out lots of light from the water and reduce your visibility, which is perfect if you are a serious photographer but a disadvantage if you're not. Plus other divers will snigger at you as they look like gimp masks.

The fins look quite short, if you have powerful legs and a strong fin kick these will be fine, if you don't, longer fins will give you more propulsion through the water - not too long though or they'll make your legs ache.

The snorkel doesn't look like it has a purge valve, which is a one way valve at the bottom of the J which you can blow excess water out of, these are much easier to use than normal J shape snorkels.

As for the boots....... If you are diving from the shore where you will have to walk over rocks etc. they would be just the job. They look better for walking in than diving, if they are not flexible they will seriously hurt your ankles while you are finning. Iif you're diving from a boat or shore diving on sandy and gravelly surfaces the boots at the bottom of the page with the mask snorkel and fins will be perfect.

The gear looks good but it's expensive and you can get better for your money. You are better off visiting a dive shop where you can try the gear on before buying. Mares are one of the best makes of fins on the market. Clear silicon masks will give you more visibility and it's essential you try before you buy to find the best fit for your face shape. To test the mask fold the strap in front of it, put the mask up to your face ensuring your hair isn't trapped under it then breathe in through your nose, a good mask fit will stick to your face in this position only coming off when you breathe out. Check the bit below your nose doesn't sit low on your lip or it will leak when you hold the regulator in your mouth as it will break the seal.

Happy diving.

It can be hard to enjoy scuba diving if you canÂ’t see anything well enough, and it can also be dangerous. This includes when the mask fogs up or too much water gets into the mask.

Knowing about the methods of scuba mask clearing is essential for these reasons. By using the right scuba mask clearing techniques you will have a more enjoyable and safer scuba diving experience.

First of all you should understand how your scuba mask can become fogged up or retain water. During the scuba diving experience you can start sweating while underwater. The sweat droplets can come from the forehead and then condense onto the inside of the scuba mask.

Also, breathing warm air through the nose can cause the mask to become foggy. Also, when warm air hits the plate when it is cold the screen will become foggy due to the condensation of the warm air.

YouÂ’ll need to use good preventive care for scuba mask clearing. First, you should clean the inside of the mask and seal it with some material that can help dry up any sweat drops as they begin to form. For example, you can use anti-fogging spray to help prevent fogging from happening. There are several other methods that have been created by other divers over the years as well, and you can find more information about this online.

Another way of scuba mask clearing involves using shampoo. By rubbing some shampoo onto your fingers and spreading it around the inside of the mask and then rinsing it off you can help the mask to absorb any water molecules that may cause fogging. It is important that you use a tearless type of shampoo so that your eyes will not be irritated if you use this method of scuba mask clearing.

Sometimes when scuba diving water may seep into the inside of the mask through the skirt edge of the mask. Usually this involves a small amount of water, but it can grow over time if not taken care of. When you do see water get into the mask take a deep inhale through your mouth and breathe through your nose.

Also, at the same time you do exhale you should tilt the bottom part of the scuba mask. However, you will have to be sure that you exhale and tilt at the exact same time or else more water will come in. Try practicing this above water before trying it out for real. If the mask begins to fog during this scuba mask clearing process it should not be a problem, as that fog will disappear in a few seconds.

By knowing the right scuba mask clearing methods you will have a better scuba diving experience. Be sure to follow the methods exactly so that no additional water will be let into the mask. Also, by using preparation methods like rubbing shampoo around the mask and cleaning it you will be able to reduce the risk of water through condensation or sweating entering the mask.
