The Scuba Gear You Use

You use all the familiar basic scuba equipment and some scuba accessories such as a dive slate, dive knife, compass, dive watch, etc. all as set out in Standards.

It is highly recommended that you own all of your own scuba equipment, as familiarity with personal gear improves general scuba diving skills. We can provide anything you don`t have to use during the course.
