These are some of the most Frequently asked Questions about buying scuba diving equipment. We want to shed light on these important considerations when buying your own scuba diving kit.
1. How much does a full set of scuba gear cost?
First of all, Evaluate should you Own ALL of it. I am the kind of person that likes picking out my own Wetsuit, Regulator, Dive computers, Fins - Epecially freediving fins and Most Importantly Mask, I do not ever want to rent a mask.
The entire basis for these choices is based on hygiene and fit. I do not want my nose and eyes inside mask that has not been properly disinfected. I do not want my mouth on just anyone's regulator and I want a Easy Breathing and Reliable one. Rental Life Support Gear can be "Well Used", this does not instill confidence.
For Diving Computers I want to be familiar with the screen and what this numerical arrangement means to me at a quick glance. Each rental Dive computer should have a pre-dive manual study and exam on what the functions are. Diving isn't a hobby that you skimp on preparation. The Wetsuit or Drysuit is also an important choice for the diver or snorkeler. Wetsuits should fit tight. How Tight ? Only you, with the help of a wetsuit fitting in your local dive shop can efficiently determine this. We know that if it's too tight, the zipper may fail our diver along with the uncomfortable possibility of elevated heart rate or lack of range of motion.
