Why buying your own dive gear

is a smart investment

Buying your own dive gear

It only takes one great experi-

ence to fall in love with diving,

but when you’re new to the

sport, you might be hesitant to

go out and immediately buy your

own gear. At first, it might make

sense to rent gear and get a feel for what you like, but when

you know you’re committed to a lifetime of diving, one of the

smartest investments you can make is buying your own gear.

Above all, a comfortable dive is a good dive, and when your

gear is your own, you have a lot less to worry about – and a lot

less tugging and adjusting to do. When you’re ready to start

buying your own kit, these are the items that should be first on

your list – and why you’ll enjoy owning them.

Wetsuit – This close-fitting garment should be comfortable and

just the right size, or you’ll be spending some unpleasant hours

under water. Different suits have different buoyancy character-

istics, which can lead to adjusting your ballast weight time and

time again to compensate. Simply slipping into a suit all your

own will help you get in the water faster and be better able to

focus on the task at hand, rather than an ill-fitting garment.

Regulator – If the idea of using a regulator that’s been in the

mouths of countless other divers doesn’t exactly appeal to you,

you’re not alone. Buying your own regulator gives you the

peace of mind that comes with knowing who’s used it, as well

as how it’s been cleaned and maintained. You also don’t have

to worry about adjusting the settings every time you dive.

Buoyancy Compensating Device – This critical piece of equip-

ment holds and connects all your life-support gear and lets you

establish the right amount of buoyancy you need, either under

water or at the surface. Having your own BCD enables you to

keep all of your accessories arranged just as you want them and

gives you the added comfort that comes with being totally fa-

miliar with the equipment you’re using.

Whether you buy everything at once or gradually collect all the

necessary gear, having your own equipment will make diving

easier and more enjoyable.

If you need advice on any particular item of gear or have spe-

cific needs then THEN WE’D LOVE to help you find the right

piece of gear for your budget, requirements, and fit.

4 Reasons Why You Need Your

Own Scuba Regulator

Having your own scuba diving

equipment is a major factor in

the enjoyment of the sport.

And, one of the first pieces of

equipment I would recommend

investing in is your scuba regu-

lator.

Sure, you can rent gear from

your local dive center or at many dive destinations. But, are you going

to put your complete trust in the availability of an under-maintained,

over-worked rental regulator for your personal safety and enjoyment

of Diving.

I remember when I was just starting out diving. I was on a diving with a

rental regulator; it worked fine for the beginning of the dive. However,

a few minutes in the octopus begun to free flow a little and there was a

terrible honking sound coming from the first stage with every breath I

took.

I could still breathe from the regulator pretty well, but I was more con-

cerned about the sound coming from it than anything else. I even

missed the Manta that everyone got to see except me.

After the dive trip I decide that I was going to invest in a regulator of

my own. Below are the 4 major reasons why I believe you should buy

your own regulator.

1. Maintenance and Safety – By owning will know the condition of

your gear, where it has been, who has been using it, and when it

was last serviced. That familiarity contributes to the highest level

of safety and security, which in turn gives you peace of mind and

an overall more enjoyable dive.

2. Personalization – Owing your own regulator give you to opportuni-

ty to personalize it to your liking, something that you simply cannot

do with a rental. Also, most rentals are entry level regulators that

often lack all the feature and performance that you would expect

from a personal reg. You can buy a scuba regulator with all the

features that suits your diving style and the conditions and envi-

ronment that you will be diving in.

3. Cost – In the short-term renting a regulator might seem as the best

option cost wise. However, if you are a frequent diver you will

soon find out that the cost of constantly renting a regulator will

turn out more expensive than having your own regulator in the

long run.

4. Availability – What if you go to your local dive center to rent a reg-

ular and their out, then what? When you have our own regulator

you don’t need to worry about availability, it is yours so it will al-

ways be there. Also, there is no need to worry about making reser-

vations to rent a regulator in the hope that they might not have

any.

Don’t take the chance with a rental or a loaner. Your dive regulator is

your lifeline underwater, and is the most important piece of scuba div-

ing equipment you can buy. The bottom line is that owning your own

equipment allows you to maximize your enjoyment as well as your

Hi all

Just a quick note from the Buchanan family (Mark, Sarah, Grant).

We spent Christmas in Cozumel and made six dives. We saw sharks, eels, turtles, several different rays, and about a thou-sand other fish! Needless to say we had a wonderful time. Just wanted to say thanks for the training we got-it made our dives much more enjoyable being so prepared.

Happy new year!
