Scuba Diving FAQs
What is the one thing I can do to best maintain my equipment?
The best thing any diver can do is simply to rinse his or her equipment as soon as his or her dive finishes. Salt water that dries onto the equipment tends to have a very corrosive effect. Because of this, people tend to need to replace equipment more often that they would like. By doing something such as pouring some bottled water on the equipment or running tap water over it, a person can greatly improve the life of the equipment.
Should I rent or buy my scuba equipment?
This really depends on how often a person goes scuba diving. However, as a general rule, any person who scuba dives fairly often is better off buying his own equipment. The only piece of equipment that he might be better off renting would be an air cylinder, because these devices can be expensive to maintain.
Do I need scuba certification before I become a scuba diver?
In a word, yes. Although there are not underwater police who will arrest a person for diving without certification, it is a fact that those who choose to dive without going through the proper training take their lives into their own hands. For a safe dive, certification is imperative.
