Scuba diving equipment adapts you to the underwater world and makes you
part of it. You do the diving, but your scuba gear makes it possible. That is, a
mask doesn’t see for you, but allows you to see underwater. A dive regulator
doesn’t breathe for you, but allows you to breathe underwater. A wetsuit doesn’t
make heat, but allows a body to more effectively retain its own heat.

The Gear You Need Depends on Where You Scuba Dive.

You can dive almost anywhere there’s water. The gear you use will vary
somewhat depending upon your diving environment, as well as your
preferences. There are four general categories for dive equipment, but some
gear fits in all the categories –  for example the mask you use for tropical diving
is probably for temperate or cold water diving, too.

    • Tropical scuba equipment – Used when diving in warm (24ºC/75ºF and
    up), clear water.
    • Temperate scuba equipment – Used when diving in moderate
    temperature (24ºC/75ºF) water.
    • Cold water scuba equipment – Used when diving in water cooler than
    (15ºC/60ºF).
    • Tec diving scuba equipment – Used by very experienced, highly trained
    divers to visit environments beyond the normal limits of recreational diving.
