Buyer's Guides

	BCDs One of the few bits of kit available in both men's and women's you can choose a BCD to suit your diving style - from heavy use, occasional travelling, or technical. Guide
	Regulators An essential part of a diver's armoury, a regulator comprises your primary reg, and your alternate air source, or octopus. There's many different regs to tempt you. Guide
	Dive computers Investing in a dive computer will enhance your enjoyment of diving and most divers now use one. Many are worn on the wrist but others are mounted on a console. Guide
	Drysuits For starters, choose between a membrane or neoprene drysuit. Then think about what type of seals and dump valves you want. You can tailor a drysuit to your every need. Guide
	Masks, snorkels and fins Often the first pieces of kit a diver buys, getting a perfect fit from a mask and snorkel is crucial. When it comes to fins, you need to decide between a paddle or split fin design. Guide
	Wetsuits From shorties to thick winter steamers, the array of wetsuits is vast. Hiring a wetsuit is never a good thing, so get yourself kitted out in some figure-hugging neoprene. Guide
