By using an efficient slow flutter kicking form, your fins can propel you through water maximizing your efforts. * A wetsuit will insulate you in the water, provide added buoyancy and protect you from superficial abrasions when diving. A drysuit will insulate divers who dive deep and in cold water conditions. * A dive computer and/or wrist watch features crucial information such as depth and tank pressure will assist you with a safe ascent and provide you with direction with a digital compass. * A SCUBA BCD provides the diver with buoyancy control both under and on top of the water. * A SCUBA mask serves as a looking glass for the aquatic environment, by insulating your vision and enhancing perception.
