One area of scuba diving education that seems to get little attention is how to pack your gear. My very first scuba diving vacation was when my wife and I got married in Hawaii and did our honeymoon in Tahiti. I toted a full sized, scuba suitcase from Chicago to Maui to Honolulu to Papeete to Bora Bora to Moorea, then back to Honolulu and finally Chicago. Each leg of the journey, I had to pay extra for the weight (and extra bag) of scuba gear. I carried way too much unneeded stuff. In today's economy, the airlines are looking for any reason to bend you over and nail you in the keester with luggage fees. So planning how you pack, can save you some money in the future.<!--more-->

The Thinking Dive Traveler

Before you start putting anything in a bag, you first have to go over everything and look for items that can be removed. I'm currently packing for a trip to Turks and Caicos. As I was folding up my mesh bag for carrying gear on a boat, I noticed that I still had a bunch of teaching slates in one of the pockets. I removed the backup light from my harness as well as the backup double ender I keep and stainless steel buckle used to hold my canister light in place. Even though I could really use my stainless steel backplate, I'm taking my aluminum plate to reduce the weight of the bag (I'll add a weight belt when I get there). By making these small changes, I was able to shave off 8 pounds from the bag. That may not seem like much, but it will help me get below the "heavy" bag weight limit the airlines impose. Remember, every ounce counts. So get into the mindset to eliminate even the smallest item if it isn't needed. If your bag is even 1 pound over the weight limit, you can bet a paycheck the airline will charge you extra. There's a war raging for your dollar. You need to fight to keep it. Make sure you know the weight limits for the airline you are traveling with prior to packing up your dive gear.

The Rental Option

Even if you own your own gear, you can still opt to rent gear from the dive operator you are diving with. This way you won't have to worry about packing, and maybe losing your dive gear. I'm always skeptical about renting gear in other countries. Who knows how well it has been taken care of. I get the willies just thinking about donning a wet suit that a thousand people may have puked on, peed in or done something worse. So I prefer to take my own gear. Certainly renting gear at your destination is a viable option. Just do your homework into how they service their gear.

Maximizing Bag Space

Looking at how you pack your gear can be a big benefit to you. You are only given a finite space to place your gear in a bag. My shorty wetsuit and mesh gear bag will lay perfectly flat on the bottom of my travel case (when it's laying down). I then put my backplate and wing on top of that. Make sure all of the air is out of your BCD prior to packing. My regulator bag sits nicely inside the harness next to the backplate. I have fin "pockets" on the inside of my travel case. Even my Jet fins will fit in them. My wet suit boots go in the foot pocket of my fins. The lid of my travel case has a padded zipper pocket on the inside of it. My mask fits in there nicely. I carry my bottom timer/depth gauge on my carry-on bag. By packing this way, I have plenty of room for souvenirs to bring home. Just as long as they don't push me over the bag weight limit. In the past, I made mistakes by packing things I thought I needed. For example, I own two regulator bags. One is a very nice, thickly padded XS Scuba one. I love that reg bag. But it is too bulky to travel with. So I have a less bulky one, that isn't as nice, to carry my regulators in. I've also stopped carrying multiple Pelican cases. In the past, I took as many as three Pelican cases to hold "stuff". I'm now down to only one small case, to hold my wallet and sunglasses when I'm in the water.

Make Sound Travel Decisions

If you take frequent scuba vacations, make sure that you think through your gear choices when traveling. It doesn't hurt to have a travel BCD that is smaller and lighter than your home BCD. Same thing with fins. As much as I love my Scubapro Jet fins, my old Dacor Panthers save me 4 extra pounds and I can move through warm water just as efficiently as my Jets. I also have warm water boots that are low cut and a thin rubber sole. Whereas my home wet suit boots are high tops with a thick, hard sole.

Otherwise, if you don't mind paying the extra fees for exceeding your checked bag weight limit, then feel free to keep stimulating the economy. We could use all the help we can get.

Question by yoji_00: I'm thinking of buying some long-bladed free diving fins, but do those work alright for breaststrokes?
I'm thinking of buying some free diving fins (the kind with the very long and flexible blades) for my wife, but we're concerned that they may not work well when using a breaststroke. I'd like to make sure before I drop $ 100+ on a pair.

Best answer:

Answer by JEN
I'm a competitive swimmer, and I personally would not buy the long fins if using them for breaststroke. When I swim, my coaches have never let us use fins while kicking breaststroke because it causes stress to your knees, and they don't particularly help while swimming breaststroke. There are specific fins that CAN be used when training breaststroke, but they can run expensive. These fins also shouldn't be used for kicking any other stroke. Hope this helps!

How to Pack for a Scuba Diving Vacation

When we think of unusual things to do we usually picture ourselves sky diving or white water rafting. Something that we don't usually picture ourselves doing is plunging into a freezing ocean! Ice diving is similar to scuba diving except that it is freezing and the creatures are immensely different. Though not a lot of individuals have the wish to do this it is still a popular pursuit. In order to do this the right way and safely you must have the right equipment with you.

Dry Suit

The dry suit will be one of the more crucial things that you have secured to you when under the water. This is designed to extend over your whole body except for the head or hands. You should find a hood and gloves for this. The suit is designed to keep the body dry and slightly warm. Still, the majority of individuals will still need to wear several layers beneath it for added warmth.

Regulator

While the suit helps to keep your nice and warm the regulator is used to keep you breathing when under the water. This will come with a big oxygen tank that is fastened to your back. The air is delivered to you through a mask that is placed over your mouth. These are quite pricey - but they are made to give you the amount of air you need for various types of dives.

Mask

The mask is one of the more inexpensive ice diving gear that you will need. However, you should be meticulous about what you choose. Ensure that it fits snugly - but not too tightly. This is going to be your eyes when under the surface so you will be able to see where you swim and take in the beauty that is all around you.

What You Should Use When Ice Diving

Snorkeling Tours in Pattaya don't require any specific training and most people that join the trips can snorkel safely by themselves. Strong swimmer - or not - holidaymakers in Pattaya can escape the crowds for a relaxing day around the Tropical Reefs, taking photographs of fish and cooling off in the refreshing, calm waters of Koh Larn and other nearby Coral Islands. Family fun in Pattaya can be inexpensive and simple and we aim to show you how.

Snorkeling can produce benefits for people of all ages and there are no specific age barriers for this water based leisure sport. Young children gain confidence and comfort while swimming and splashing around in the oceans and the elderly receive tremendous therapeutic gains from a little light exercise around the shallow bays and stimulating scenery. No formal training or lessons are required to snorkel and most people can use the gear very easily after some general tips and advice. It is an ideal sport for families to participate in together which makes it a great pastime for vacationers to seek some budget priced leisurely swimming adventures away from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya.

Typical Snorkeling Equipment consists of;

A Mask & Snorkel
Wetsuit
Diving Fins
Flotation Vest
Waterproof Camera (optional)

There are many tour companies in Pattaya offering snorkel trips and other water sport activities, but equally there are many that cram customers into a small speed boat with very little shelter from the strong sunlight and without proper medical and toilet facilities. We suggest that you consider the size and comfort of your chosen sea transport with an emphasis on quality for the overall enjoyment of the experience. Our professional guides can offer tips and help for novice snorkelers and for those who've never breathed through a snorkel tube before we have some useful guidelines from our PADI Snorkeling Instructor.

Always use a mask de fog solution before you enter the water (saliva works too)
Attach the snorkel to the mask strap securely
Swim on the surface and look down and ahead at approx 45 degree angle to avoid the snorkel dangling in the water
Breathe cautiously and if water enters the snorkel try to blast the water clear
Pace yourself and try to avoid swimming in strong currents and surface chop

Modern snorkeling gear allows you to peer beneath sea level and appreciate the vibrant beauty of the corals and marine life in the shallows near to the shoreline. Coral reefs generally thrive better in warm water with lots of sunshine. The Gulf of Thailand has an average water temperature of thirty degrees and thus has many coral island reefs within an hours' boat trip from the Port and daily snorkel tours are generally available for less than the price of a family meal. Departing around 09.00am and usually returning late afternoon, allows a fun packed day full of fresh air, clear water with unrivalled peace and tranquility.

The nearby islands of Koh Larn and Koh Sak tend to be busier for boat traffic though very popular with tourists being ferried from the marina at Laem Bali Hai. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we prefer to take our guests to the more remote islands of Koh Rin, Koh Pai and their neighbouring pinnacles where the water clarity is almost always better, the corals are more dense and colourful, and there is a distinct lack of jetski's and power boats to contend with.

Sea life in Pattaya and Thailand tends to be mainly hard coral formations such as brain coral, table coral and the stag horn variety. Tropical fishes that inhabit these structures are mainly small reef fish such as damsel fish, sergeant major fish, butterfly fish and surgeon fish. We are also lucky enough to see turtles and dolphins in the area though these tend to be an occasional glimpse rather than regular sightings.

The resort of Pattaya is blessed with a fairly stable weather pattern and snorkeling trips can be enjoyed almost any day of the year. The south west monsoons that arrive around May don't tend to cause too many problems for tour companies with sturdy dive boats and the refreshing sea breeze of the 'winter' months tends to keep them free from rain and high humidity. So, if you're searching for something a little more relaxing than the normal chaos in Pattaya and a lot of Fun - Take a Snorkeling Tour around the Coral Islands.

Pattaya Snorkeling Tours – Family Fun around the Coral Islands

So you've decided to go on a dive vacation. It's time that you explore the natural blue wonder that's otherwise known as the sea. People who get into scuba diving become addicted to the hobby because the ocean does really offer a different world that is more beautiful than you can ever imagine. As a diver, you can go light and decide to rent out the equipment in the destination itself. But diving aficionados believe that you also need to invest in some tools. This obviously makes for a better option because it's simply more hygienic. Plus, you do get to save money from all the rentals in the long run.

You can rent out the tank and have the resort take care of the boat. Unless you have a lot of money to spare, budget should always be at the top of your list. This isn't to say that skimp on your purchases. Rather, get a trusted brand because these do last longer. And as a diver, make sure you have the following pieces of equipment whenever you go out to dive:

Mask and goggles. These are usually sold in sets and can be packed easily inside your suitcase. For obvious reasons, it is better than you own your very own pair especially if you're particular about things you put in your mouth.
Anti-fog spray. Spit or toothpaste is what divers put on their masks to lessen the fogging. The sprays are much better because the effects last longer.
Underwater camera. If you're a diving enthusiast, you will want to document your every dive. This is also a good way for you to keep track of your dive vacations. Remember, there are wonderful sites everywhere, and if you want to explore each one, you will want to have a memento so you can also see where your best experiences are.
Wet suit. Sometimes, some dive areas don't offer a wide range of wet suits. You will want to make sure that what you wear fits you perfectly.
Aqua shoes. For the same reason, you will want something that fits you perfectly. And it's something you can always use even when you don't go out diving.
Fins. A good pair of fins will fit well over your aqua shoes. Some brands even sell them as a set. Look into your nearest dive stores and see what they have to offer.
Torch. These are great for night dives, and if you're brave enough to venture out even when the sun isn't out, this can be a very good investment as not all destinations have these for each diver.
Gloves. The deeper you go, the colder the water gets. You need to be prepared especially if you're working at becoming not just a certified diver, but a dive master.

The BCD and dive belts may be too much of a hassle to keep. These are the things you can easily get your hands on when you're in your destination. Aside from that, don't go for equipment that may be a little too expensive to maintain. Just get yourself familiar with what you have and you should be fine.

Live Adventurously is a site that helps you with your travel needs. This company is comprised of a tribe of dive enthusiasts who want to share the beauty of the world to their clients. For those who want to explore the underwater world, check out the site and see the surprises they have in store for you.

Eight Diving Equipment Every Diver Should Have

Scuba Buoyancy Compensator devices come in a variety of different styles. The most popular style of buoyancy control devices used today by most recreational divers are the jacket style scuba BC, which is worn like an inflatable vest with buckles in the front. This style of scuba BCD, wraps around the front of your body, with the side panels containing the inflatable bladders. The scuba tanks strap onto the back harness and other scuba gear like the regulator hose, octopus and gauges are also secured through additional straps which maybe found on the BCD.

Just decide what features are important for you to fit your style of diving and you are very well on your way to getting that perfect Scuba BCD.
Whatever style of buoyancy compensator device you choose make sure the Scuba BC you are about to buy is a good one. Below are some major features to consider when looking to buy a BCD:

Fit and comfort - When buying your scuba BCD, the first important characteristics to look out for are fit and comfort. An uncomfortable BCD, and one that will not fit to your size, will distract you from your scuba experiences. You will probably have to frequently adjust it during your dive. It will definitely take some of the pleasure out of the dive.

I once had the unfortunate experience of renting a Scuba BC which was too small and it really constrained my movements underwater. At the end I was just glad to have ended the dive. Now that is not what scuba diving is about. So now imagine buying a Scuba BCD which does not seem right. You will probably get put off scuba diving just cause you may be of the opinion that the scuba gear makes you feel restricted and claustrophobic which is really not the case.

The Scuba BC should fit you snugly as streamlined as possible against your body, but not too tight. On the other hand an over sized Scuba BC will uncontrollably rotate around your body therefore giving you an uncomfortable dive as you will undoubtedly focus on adjusting it throughout your dive.
Also check that the buoyancy compensator device has a configuration and harness that makes wearing the Scuba BCD comfortable and keeps it from riding up around your neck when inflated. Check that the quick release straps are well positioned so that you can easily reach them in case of an emergency.

Lift Capacity - It must hold enough air to give you and your equipment enough buoyancy to float you at the surface. You can find out a Scuba BCD's lift capacity by floating an inflated BC and adding weight to it until it sinks. The average lift capacity for a Scuba BC is approximately 40 lbs.

Hoses and valves - It should have a low pressure inflation system to make it possible to slowly fill your Buoyancy Compensator Device with air directly from your tank. A large diameter inflation/deflation hose is also important so air can be easily released. Every Scuba BCD must have an over-pressure release valve to prevent it from rupturing in case it is overinflated. Check that the release valves are easily accessible.

Weight Integration - More expensive Scuba BCDs normally come with integrated weights for those divers that prefer to wear less scuba gear. This type of scuba BC has got weight plates which are normally found at the back side of the BCD. I really like this type of scuba BC configuration, the advantage of this system is that, it is more comfortable as you will not need a weight belt. When it comes to scuba weight distribution, the weight is evenly distributed along your back rather on your hips which can sometimes become uncomfortable during your dive. If you choose to buy this type of Scuba BCD, make sure that the weights can be easily released in case of emergencies.

Other desirable features to look for in your scuba BC are utility pockets, a whistle for surface communication, hose retainers and utility rings for attaching accessory equipment. Again check whether these are positioned within an easily accessible area on your Scuba BC.

But before you get officially certified, you will need to go to your local PADI Dive Center or Resort. Once you get there, you will need to pay additional fees and complete the rest if your certification requirements in the ocean.

You will also need to bring a Diving Mask, Snorkel, a good set of Diving Fins and you're also responsible for all of your own Diving Equipment. If you are unsure of what you need to bring with you I'd recommend dropping by your local PADI Dive Center and ask them before you go out and purchase a bunch of equipment for your Dive. They may also want you to go out and get some additional equipment as well, such as a Recreational Dive Planner Table and a Log Book.

Once you register for the eLearning part of the Scuba Diving Course, they give you one year to complete that portion of it from the time you register. So I wouldn't recommend dawdling too long, plus why would you? I'm sure you're anxious to get certified anyway.

Their eLearning system consists of Videos, Audios, Graphical Illustrations and also requires some reading. This learning system also includes a bunch of short quizzes, so make sure you're picking up the material you are reading about. This program is Self Paced, so you can dictate how fast you make it through this program.

The PADI Open Water Diver Course just happens to be the most popular Scuba Diving Course in the world today. In fact, millions have started their Diving Careers by taking this course. Learning to Scuba Dive isn't easy. It takes a culimination of critical thinking concepts such as learning facts and concepts. Additionally it requires motor skills such as coordination and endurance and the application of techniques you learn in the classroom.

The The PADI Open Water Diver Course Online will give you all the knowledge you need to become successful. But the only way to develop the remaining skills necessary for you to make it as a Scuba Diver will be to visit your Local PADI Dive Center and to get live training from a Certified Scuba Instructor over there. The online portion of the course is available in Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, Italian, French and the Netherlands in addition to English.

I personally believe almost anyone can become Scuba Certified if they apply themselves a little bit. It's a great certification to bring with you if you ever want to become a Life Guard as well. And not only is Scuba Diving an excellent hobby, this is a skill that could help you in a Search & Rescue Mission or one that could help you save someones life in the future. We wish you the best of luck in your future Diving Adventures!

Question by Cesar P: What size fins should I get so I can wear diving boots?
I am new to freediving and I have been using diving fins and boots that aren't my size (I have size 12 to 12.5 feet (depends on brand) and my fins are medium size I don't know the size but my boots are size 10 and say large on them) so I decided to buy new gear but I don't know what size fins to get so I can also wear diving boots, do I get size 12 or 13?

Best answer:

Answer by uwaterskye
If you want to wear boots and fins, the fins would need to be the footless style with a strap round the heel. They don't have sizes as such. The sized fins fit round your whole foot and you have to be bare-footed to wear them.

Investing in quality snorkelling equipment

You will find that having your own snorkelling equipment will come in very handy especially if you are someone who vacations a lot by the seaside. Snorkelling is an activity that does not require any expertise and therefore can be enjoyed by just about anyone.

Unlike Scuba diving or other water sports snorkelling does not require a lot of equipment. If you invest in the basic snorkelling equipment needed you will find that you are quite capable of having a wonderful underwater experience.

For any snorkeler there are a few necessities that need to be purchased. Of course, you could always rent out snorkelling equipment however when it comes to rentals you are not always guaranteed to get the correct size or fit or the best quality equipment. It is always best to have your own snorkelling equipment so that you are ensured that you will have the right size and quality equipment.

If you are keen to purchase you own snorkelling equipment there are three sets of gear that you will need; a snorkelling mask, snorkelling fins and of course a snorkel.

A snorkel is essential for snorkelling and you will find that there are varieties of snorkels from which you can choose. Snorkels vary in design, purpose and price so you should chose one that suits your needs as well as your price range. Whether you chose a basic snorkel or go for a complex one, which has purge valves, make sure you buy a quality product.

Choose a snorkelling mask that fits your face snugly but not one that is uncomfortable or restrictive. The mask should have adjustable straps so that you can loosen or tighten it when needed. Silicone skirtings are used for snorkelling masks these types of masks are not only comfortable to wear but also fit better. A proper fit is very important to avoid water leaking in to the mask and to avoid discomfort while underwater. Always try to buy snorkelling masks from a reputed manufacture. Some stores will even have prescription or custom-made snorkelling masks made on request.

Fins help you move easily through the water and help you swim with ease. Fit is the most important aspect of choosing a pair of fins. They should always fit comfortably and not be too loose fitting or too tight. You can choose from two styles of fins the ‘full foot' fins and the ‘open heel' fins. Depending on your preference and the type of snorkelling, you are planning on doing you can decide which type of fin you prefer. Fins vary in size and fit depending on the brand so it is always advisable to try the pair you wish to purchase out to make sure you have the best fit.

With just these three sets of snorkelling equipment, you will be well on your way to explore the spectacle that lies beneath the seas.

Is Buoyancy the Single Most Important Scuba Diving Skill?

When starting out scuba diving most trainees struggle with their buoyancy for a while. They are introduced to an alien environment and find that they are either floating or sinking. Unfortunately, many divers with years of scuba diving behind them still have problems with their buoyancy. In the shallow confines of a training pool bad buoyancy can be corrected by the instructor. When deep diving for extended periods of time this is not possible and poor buoyancy could be extremely dangerous.

The physicals laws of buoyancy are described by Archimedes Principle - that most of us encountered at school. It states that a body immersed in a liquid experiences an up-thrust on it that is equal in size to the weight of the liquid that it is displacing. Therefore if a boat displaces water equal in weight to itself then this will be experienced as a force pushing it upwards so that it floats on the surface. Conversely a stone will sink because being denser than water it displaces a volume weighing less than itself. The up-thrust is less than its own weight and it therefore sinks.

The boat is exhibiting positive buoyancy whereas the stone is negatively buoyant. We scuba divers do not want to flop on the surface or sink like a stone. We need to be neutral in the water so that with a lazy kick of our fins we can move up or down. If we floated we would have to paddle hard to duck beneath the surface and if we sank, we would always be struggling to compensate for the tendency to sink.

Neutrally buoyant means less effort and therefore less air consumption. It allows us the best control of our attitude within the water and is more comfortable than always having to swim to keep a position. Scuba diving enthusiasts get to be neutral by balancing their diving equipment. Often this is by trial and error and because a thick insulating wetsuit or dry suit is usually worn it will mean adding lead weights to the scuba gear. Often several kilos of lead are added by way of a weight belt or alternatively in weight pouches in the buoyancy jacket. The time to adjust weighting is at the end of the dive, when most of the air has been drained from the tanks. As the air that has been breathed can weigh a couple of kilos, depending on the size and configuration of tanks being used, the diver is at his or her lightest at the end of the dive and at this point must adjust their weighting to achieve neutral buoyancy. Carrying this out at the start of the dive could result in the diver being very positively buoyant by the end of the dive!

The weight belt and weight pouches can be removed by the diver quickly. The weight belt has a quick release buckle and the pouches are usually attached by Velcro. Thus, in an emergency the diver, or his buddy, can remove the weights and the diver will shoot to the surface where he can be rescued. This is a controversial rescue method, and the deeper and longer the dives being conducted, the more dangerous as an emergency procedure this becomes. A rapid ascent in only a few meters of water by a panicking diver after a twenty minute dive is likely to lead to a safe rescue. A similar buoyant ascent from 40 meters after an hour under water will lead to severe diving illness such as burst lung and decompression sickness. Even if a safe ascent is made, the diving computer used to monitor the dive will probably lock you out from diving for a day or more after a too swift ascent.

For such extended range diving it is often advisable to reduce the emergency jettison weights, to ensure that an emergency ascent is not too swift. Many divers have a combination of pouches and weight belts so that only part has to be removed to achieve slight positive buoyancy. A technical diver may even use integral weights in his twin set that cannot be removed. They know that a rapid ascent would be just as final as drowning. Some will wear a couple of removable kilo weights in small pouches - some do not.

Buoyancy is seen as a critical skill in scuba diving. Without good control, it is impossible to swim over delicate coral without doing damage or hard to hover while carrying out safety stops or decompression procedures. Being over weighted can be dangerous and even worse, wearing ill fitting or badly secured weights can result in unexpected buoyant ascents and the consequential damage this can do to a diver's body.

Following Are a Few Dos and Don'ts Related to Scuba Diving

Those who have been on a cruise to the Caribbean or Catalina know that it is the perfect place for diving as the water there is so blue and clear. You would definitely want to try scuba diving there, even if you are not into it. In order to sign up for that, though, you have to be in a good physical shape, be an experienced swimmer, and be certified. Only if you are a qualified scuba diver would the cruise diving team let you dive - after all, danger is everywhere, including underwater.

Before you embark on that extreme experience, there are facts you need to know. Following are a few Dos and Don'ts related to scuba diving.

•    Scuba Diving Dos:

1)    The two most important requirements are the good physical shape and certification. If you lack any of those, do not risk your life.

2)    The things you need to take: mask, diving fins, weight belt, regulator and octopus, compass, dive light with backup, dive knife, air tank and backup, dive flag, spare mouthpiece, first aid kit, flare gun (do not forget the flares!).

3)    It is safer and more pleasant if you have a diving partner. Do not forget to constantly keep visual contact, and try not to kick out their mouthpiece.

4)    A third person is a must. They stay on the boat, have a mobile phone, and help when getting out of the water.

5)    If you want to bring back a souvenir, take an underwater camera with you together with underwater light and backup.

•    Scuba Diving Don'ts:

1)    Do not drink and then dive. Think about your own safety and the safety of your partner.

2)    Do not forget to tell someone where you are and when you will go back.

3)    Do not eat too much before diving; before diving wait for at least two hours after eating. Otherwise, you might get cramps or troubled breathing.

These are only some of the useful tips related to scuba diving you need to take into consideration. Always inform yourself before diving.

Following are some other topics you mind find interesting:

•    The only documentation of the use of inflated goatskins used as breathing devices is carvings depicting Assyrian soldiers crossing rivers with the help of the devices.

•    The first to mention an underwater device was Leonardo da Vinci (the 15th c.). He called it Bad Human Nature and did not explain how it works - most probably because it could be used for the sinking of ships, and even for murdering.

•    Guy Gilpatrick invented the waterproof goggles in the 1930s, France. Their function was to keep the salt water out of the eyes at the surface.

•    The L. A. Co. Dept. of Parks and Recreation, USA, offered the first scuba diving certification course. The wetsuit was introduced to the public in 1956.

Sport Divers Magazine - Editor's Pick Oceanic OC1 - March 2009

COOL FACTOR

Enough functionality to make 007's gadget man, Q, raise an eyebrow in approval.

KEY FEATURES

The OC1 is a step up computer that is comprised of a dot matrix display, a digital compassand functionality to switch among three wireless transmitters. The latter allows for a buddy pressure-check function. 4 different dive genres handl 21% room air, EANx, technical gauge mode and freediving mode!, and the dot-matrix display is crisp and easy on the eyes. All of this comes wrapped in a strong, lightweight titanium housing. SmartGlo backlighting works great in low vizibility conditions and at night, and the system includes Oceanic's software Downside

Having had the ability to beta test this dive watch, I was impressed overall; and neutral on a couple of things. If you have failing eyesight, that sleekness of the unit doesn't lend to being more readable. I had to squint in my mask to see the display in low light. So if you have bad eyesight, perhaps the Oceanic ProPlus II is a better computer for you.

Secondly, the digital compass is a bit touchy (keep in mind this was one of the demo units, and probably has been fixed). It must be flat to read out the degree measurement.

Finally, with 5-7mm gloves (we dive this cold water of the Pacific) the buttons are a bit hard to manipulate, to change settings. Also, the computer is a very sophisticated piece of technology and a DVD that came with the computer with a step-by-step guide would be nice.

For the Scuba Diving Equipment Enthusiast, this is the first adopter must have! Do what others have already done and BUY NOW by clicking the links above. We are taking orders RIGHT NOW!

How Important Is Having A Right Diving Gear?

Experiencing the sensation of being underwater like one of its inhabitants during the first time dive is a great occasion for a new diver. Veteran divers never grow tired of spending time beneath the surface. Many take full advantage of the best diving spots all around the world. Before anyone can enjoy such pleasures of the underwater world, it is required to have and use the right diving gear.

If you plan to go for the best gear then you must be prepared to invest a substantial amount of money. Diving equipment is so expensive that many divers can't meet the expense of getting all the equipment at once. They have to gradually build up. A lot of divers purchase good used equipment. To get the best value for money on used items, a new diver asks for advice and suggestions.

When you become a member of a diving center or club, you'll have the opportunity to be in touch with many experienced divers who will be glad to give you advice on diving gear and other equipment. Nobody wants to spend money by buying items that won't keep or too used to be repaired and maintained.

Basic device for diving would consist of a mask, wetsuit, fins and regulator.

Good diving mask is necessary because it relieves the pressure exerted on you and allows comfortable breathing. Mask protects face and improves your field of vision. It comes in a variety of sizes and you must choose the one that is comfortably fit and snug. Divers who wear prescription spectacles will have to get a prescription mask.

A wetsuit also known as a diving suit is worn for entire body protection from cuts and scrapes possibly from equipment or pieces of coral or rock. The suit also protects against burns from certain sea animals. Wearing a suit that fits like a second skin allows efficient movement.

To make you swim faster and easier, fins are used. They come in different sizes and are designed to help preserve the diver's energy as well as saving body oxygen.

The regulator is an important tool that you can't dive without it. This item is not worn. The regulator is used to control the pressure flow of the air in the cylinders. It allows you to breathe easily.

Having proper gear is the only way a diver can keep safe. Even with the best and most cutting edge equipment a diver may only dive with a buddy. The idea is that the one will keep an eye on the other. If one diver encounters unexpected problems the other can either immediately assist or call for assistance. A sensible diver would never risk diving alone.

Anyone can practice diving and learn to be a safe diver. It all relies on the right education from a certified training center and well maintained equipment. Using the right diving gear would result for comfortable, safe and enjoyable dive.

The commonest material for the watch case of it is the stainless steel.

Feature three: Crystal

The crystal of a watch for diving is thick in order to enhance the pressure resistance of it. And the materials of the crystal are better in quality such as hardened glass and acrylic glass. These materials are more scratch resistant than other materials for making crystal.

The Omega "Marine", which was introduced in 1932, is said as the first Diving timepiece in history. With more and more people realized how important it was to wear it for scuba diving, more and more diving watches were introduced into the market. In 1954, Rolex Submariner was introduced into the market. These watches are still attractive today. During the 1960s, people had more under water activities. There were more watches designed for these activities. More and more watch manufacturers produced these timepieces at that time. Today, scuba diving is loved by young people.
