Sports Diving Equipment Multi Level B.C.D. Scuba Skin for Diving

A wide variety of masks are available. You can choose from numerous colors and shapes. The best ones offer maximum vision area with low volume.

To ensure proper fit, hold the mask against your face (without the strap) and inhale through your nose. If the mask stays snugly against your face, you have a good seal.

Water may seep into your mask while you are in the water. This could be caused by hair between your face and your mask, or if the shape of your face changes when you laugh, talk or yawn.

To clear the water, tilt your head back slightly and press the top of your mask tightly against your forehead. Exhale slowly through your nose forcing the water out through the lower edge of the mask. You will be able to clear all the water by following this method.

Diving masks tend to become foggy. Simply rub saliva on the inside of the mask and rinse with water. This technique should prevent fogging.

A. You must be a competent swimmer before you attempt snorkeling.

B. Do not snorkel alone. Always dive with someone else.        

C. Do not snorkel in high waves or strong currents.

D. Practice in a shallow area or in a pool.

Strap fins have an adjustable heel strap. It is recommended that you wear dive boots to prevent chafing and for protection on rocks or coral. Fins that have a shoe will protect you against rocks and coral but require much greater care in the fitting.

To glide through the water, keep your fins underwater while kicking in a slow up-and-down motion. Bend your knees only slightly and allow your ankles to flex freely. Use your entire leg for the most excellent efficiency. Vertical kicking is the only motion that will propel you forward. Sideways kicking will use your energy and yield disappointing results.
