An Overview of SCUBA Gear


This part of our web site is intended as an introduction of the types of scuba gear available, along with a few comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the various styles. We'll divide scuba gear into two categories: snorkeling gear (all of the stuff that would be required for snorkeling, sometimes called "personal gear") and scuba gear (the extra pieces of equipment required for scuba diving that you wouldn't need if you were just snorkeling).

You can follow the "Next Page" links at the bottom of each page to go to the next section, or navigate using the links in the left column.
