What features are importnat in chossing dive mask / snorkel / fins / etc regulator?
I'm taking scuba lessons and do not know what to buy … Is it necessary that focus on buying in my mask / fin / tube / Controller / wetsuit, etc. Keep in mind that they know nothing about diving but please be specific. I was told not to trust the people in the stores because they may get to buy things with useless gadgets that are too expensive. What might considered useful features to look for?
If you are taking an open water course through a store, I have some news. He has already decided that this particular store is trustworthy. You are, after all, hoping to be taught well at a cost that has been deemed reasonable. That same principle continues to through selecting and purchasing the equipment. Most stores include the use of environmental suit, if necessary, buoyancy compensator, tank and weight of lead. Most expect that you already have and use their own mask, snorkel and fins. This part of the kit should be your first purchase. The rest can always rent anywhere in the world, after you have completed the course, so you do not need to rush out and buy something right away and can build their own equipment little by little as their finances permit. It is a great way to be and yet still diving some gear to buy higher end when saved for him and not be financially strapped. 1 / The Mask. It has to fit. You have to try it. Not all masks are made of the same human and not face the same. Test them at the store by holding the mask in the face, off leash, inhaled through the nose a little and drop the hands of the mask. If it remains at 15 seconds or more, an adjustment is OK. If it crashes before they move next mask. Take all that went on and choose your mask. Things to consider? A good quality strap attachment points. Good visibility out of the mask, particularly low (it stinks to have to feel around his BC to find items). Purge or not purge? Go without purging. Cost is added to the mask, you can get stickers and do not need as he was taught how to clear the water without a mask. 2 / Fins "Try as many pairs as possible before purchase. Style draft of each person is different. I can not use the split fins at all. I get no place fast with them, but a fin stiff as a sheet, no problem at all. Some of my friends are the opposite. Your local store can give you guidance in this regard and, possibly, to give some demos to try in a pool. 3 / Snorkel "He has to clean with ease, be comfortable and as close as possible to keep you aligned current. I disagree with the person who said that to avoid a curved tube. Most snorkels decent these days are curved to keep closer to your head and make a lower profile (simplified). The less gear you have sticking out everywhere, best. Less chance of something getting caught and less energy to move through the water column. Later, when you start buying your protection exposure (wet / dry suit), BC and rules, some have sunk under their belt and have gotten to know some other divers and watched his team carried out, perhaps even borrow some to try in the "real world" conditions. You will have a better understanding of what equipment you need to the type of diving you plan on doing everything. An example would be the rules. It makes no sense to spend extra money on a set of environmentals will never see the cold water or a dry suit for the same reason. As for the AC, is a backpack and its method of buoyancy control. It has to fit and all his pockets, open-air dumps and rings D should be easily accessible. Jacket or style inflation back? His election, there are pros and cons of both. In new inflation, tends to tip the face by first time on the surface, but most people tend to be naturally swim in the correct position without any effort, at least. The elastic bladder sometimes necessary to adjust air and to help the bladder to remove air in a landfill. Some BC round of inflation have a capacity to be used with a plate and double tanks and a bladder type interchangeable surprised if inflation harness. A floating style jacket evenly, more or less in the surface, but you might experience a bit of roll during the dive, depending on the distribution of lead. They also tend to feel a bit squeezed in the surface if slightly inflated. This type is usually a little cheaper than inflation back. Both types lead integrated supply these days, which eliminates post weight belt, but it makes the BC heavier to move just before the dive. This type also makes changing the amount of lead that you get easy to do as it only needs to open the bags of lead and pulls a bag on each side or to the case, adding lead if you dive dry. Easier than fighting with caregivers in a belt traditional lead and not hurt as much when you drop a weight on the toes. Edit: It's in your best interest to purchase equipment from a place that you can inspect and do repair if necessary. In response to the answer below me. Buying online, although an attractively priced solution, is not the place to buy things for your life depends on. The old adage "you get what you pay for" is true here. In addition, the lakes can be as exciting as diving into the sea, maybe even more if you shipwreck diver. I've never dived in 1870 an accident at sea the boat because there is none that even remotely resemble a ship. I have, however, plunged in many Great Lakes. Ocean vessels claim quickly. Lake sites can really help conservation.
