Planning to dive in Kemer? Knowing what the equipment is for makes your first dive far more relaxing. Below you will find the basic gear used in Kemer scuba diving and what each item does.
Required Equipment and Materials
-
Diving mask: The mask covers your eyes and nose and gives you clear vision under water.
-
Snorkel: A snorkel lets you breathe at the surface without lifting your head, which saves air from your tank before the dive.
-
Dive light: In caves and darker areas, a dive light shows the true colors of the marine life.
-
Underwater camera: If you want to record the beauty of the underwater world, a waterproof camera is a great companion.
-
Diving knife: A diving knife is a multi-purpose tool that can help in an emergency, for example if you get tangled in a line.
-
Diving boots: Boots protect your feet and improve your grip on slippery rocks and boat decks.
-
Weight belt: Weights help you sink and keep your balance while diving.
-
Tank and regulator: The tank holds your air and the regulator delivers it so you can breathe underwater.
-
Diving gloves: Gloves protect your hands and make the dive more comfortable.
-
BCD (buoyancy control device): The BCD helps you stay balanced and adjust your buoyancy during the dive.
A wetsuit and other small accessories also complete the set. Beginners do not need to buy any of this, because a dive center normally provides the equipment and explains how to use it.
Tips for Your First Dive
- Follow your instructor's hand signals and instructions carefully.
- Breathe slowly and calmly; never hold your breath.
- Tell your instructor about any health problems, ear trouble or cold symptoms beforehand.
- Do not fly shortly after diving, and ask the dive center for guidance.
