What kind of equipment does diving equipment include?

Author:

Diving equipment includes many parts, such as breathing apparatus, air cylinder, diving suit, frog shoes, BC, diving bag, eye mask, diving gloves, diving watch, compass, pendant belt, diving knife and so on.
If you are snorkeling, just equip yourself with the three treasures of diving-face mirrors, breathing tubes and flippers, or wear a thinner warm diving suit.
If it is scuba diving (deep diving), it should also be equipped with the following equipment: buoyancy compensation vest (BCD), breathing regulator, diving wet clothes, gas cylinders, etc.

Compensating vest.
It is a device that changes buoyancy by adding air into or releasing air from the vest while diving.
There are two ways to add air, one is to connect the low-pressure air filling pipe of the gas cylinder, and the other is to use manual air blowing.
Wet diving suit.
The wet suit is the wet suit, and the main function of the suit is to keep warm (wet and dry).
In tropical or subtropical diving, 1mm-3mm is more commonly used, wet clothes with thicker 5mm or above are needed at cooler water temperatures, and dry diving clothes (drysuit) are considered for diving at colder temperatures.
Wet clothes are thinner and cheaper for more than 300 yuan, while 2mm-3mm thick dry diving clothes for about 1,000 yuan should have a lot of choices.
The following describes the wet diving suit, using fabric: 90% high elastic nylon fabric, 10% polyurethane (nylon); lining: 100%Neoprene (neoprene), thickness: 3mm made, YKK zipper.
Wet suit must fit to the skin, a small amount of water is not flowing between the suit and the skin to maintain body temperature, have a certain warm effect, manner suit ventilation, perspiration and odor resistance, bright color, comfortable to wear, safe, free, relaxed.
High stretch elastic cloth three-dimensional cutting, maximum comfort and performance.
The product fabric has good elasticity, no folding needle and thread stitching, extra comfort and durability.
Do not shrink do not fade, feel good, made of imported environmentally friendly cloth, can reduce the stimulation of water splashing when surfing.
Conjoined high-coefficient anti-UV UV protective clothing, UPF50+ (can effectively block 50% of UV), enough to protect against suntan and sunburn, such as jellyfish stings or coral scratches.
Uses: it can be used in underwater operations such as fishing, aquaculture, reservoir site engineering and marine undertakings, and can be used in tourism and other aspects.
Respirator.
Breathing tubes are essential equipment for snorkeling-they allow you to breathe on the surface of the water without having to lift your head out of the water frequently.
In this way, you can concentrate on continuously watching the underwater world, while divers using air cylinders can use breathing tubes to rest or swim on the water surface to save air in the cylinders.
The structure of the breathing tube is very simple. It is a curved tube with one end in your mouth and the other to the surface of the water.
In order to prevent chest tightness caused by carbon dioxide accumulation and drop water pressure, the longest design length does not exceed 420mm.
The breathing tube is generally made of silicone and plastic and has a variety of colors. Stick it on the left side of the mirror when you use it, rinse it with clean water after use, put it in a dry and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, and do not mix it with rubber products to avoid discoloration.
At present, the breathing tubes sold are divided into two types: one-way drain valve and no one-way drain valve. generally speaking, because the breathing tube with one-way drain valve is easy to drain, most divers choose this kind of diver.
Face mirror.
The mirror, also known as the half mirror, is a window to observe the underwater world, but unlike swimming goggles, it is buckled together with the nose in order to balance the pressure on the middle ear.
There are two types of mirrors: monolithic and binocular.
Generally composed of high-strength safety glass and black rubber or colored silica gel, plastic, etc., once broken will not hurt people, pay attention to whether the mirror skirt is closely attached to the face.
Frog shoes.
The function of flip-flops is to give you more effective driving force in the water-by kicking your legs.
There are two kinds of slippers.
The former is suitable for swimming pool and light equipment snorkeling, while the latter is used for deep diving with gas cylinders, but deep diving must also be equipped with diving boots, which are made of rubber composite materials.
Be sure to suit your physical strength when shopping.
The shape of feet and the geographical environment of diving should not be too large, not too small, and pay attention to their elasticity.
Diving gloves.
The hands are most likely to be hurt when entering or leaving the ocean of rocks or coral reefs, so it is safe to wear gloves.
Although general gloves are OK, it is most ideal to use nylon or rubber diving gloves for durability and surface swimming.
