Content: Aside from protecting your fingers and palms, these gloves help keep your hands warm underwater. Scuba Tank
A scuba tank or diving cylinder is obviously another piece of equipment that you’re going to need when you go diving. It is a component of your breathing apparatus and serves the purpose of allowing you to store and transport large volumes of simple compressed air or specialized gas mixtures such as Nitrox. Most tanks have a maximum pressure rating of around 2000 to 3500 psi and are commonly made from either steel or aluminum. You can choose to rent or buy, although if you plan to do more dives in the future, you may want to invest in your own. Regulator
The regulator makes it possible for you to breathe the air from your tank by converting the high pressure air into ambient pressure. It has something called a first stage, which connects to the tank or diving cylinder you wear on your back, and a second stage—the part of the regulator that you put in your mouth. It also has a backup second stage and gauges. When choosing a diving regulator, make sure to pick one that gives you the highest level of comfort and performance for your own needs. Depth Gauge, Submersible Pressure Gauge, & Compass
A depth gauge records the current and maximum depth reached during a dive.
