Content: 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. Meanwhile, a submersible pressure gauge (SPG) displays the amount of gas remaining in your scuba tank or cylinder, which can help you in monitoring your gas supply during your dive. A compass is also crucial for proper dive navigation. Knowing where you are is essential during a dive, especially when there is low visibility. It keeps you from getting lost, plus it helps prevent you from panicking and using up more air than you need to. Depending on your preference, these devices come in both analog and digital forms.
