Scuba life support
Open-circuit Scuba consisting of diving cylinder(s) and diving regulator(s);
Rebreather, closed-circuit or semi-closed-circuit Scuba;
Alternative life support
Liquid breathing systems are extremely rare and at an early experimental stage. It is hoped that some day practical systems allow very deep diving.;
Snorkel allows breathing at the surface with the face submerged.;
Standard diving dress - mostly used in professional diving. Merely of historical interest now.;
Surface supplied diving - mostly used in professional diving, except recreational forms like snuba.;
Thermal, sting and abrasion protection
In cold water, a diving suit such as a dry suit or a wet suit;
In very warm water, many types of tough, long, everyday clothing provide protection, as well as purpose made garments such as dive skins and shorty wetsuits;
Diving gloves, neoprene is often used for thermal insulation;
Diving boots, often made of neoprene and rubber;
In-water stabilisation and movement
A backplate is a structural device linking the buoyancy of the wing with the weight of the diving cylinders and harnessed around the diver's body;
Buoyancy compensator, Buoyancy Control Device, BCD or BC - many names for a buoyancy adjusting and life-saving buoyancy device;
Diver Propulsion Vehicle - to increase the range of the diver undwerwater;
Diving weighting system - to counteract the buoyancy of the diving suit and diver to allow descent;
Fins for efficient propulsion;
Measurement and navigation
Compass for underwater navigation;
Decompression tables to avoid decompression sickness;
Depth gauge is used with watch for decompression monitoring on decompression tables;
Distance line is used to navigate back to the start point in poor visibility;
Dive Computer to avoid decompression sickness;
Watch is used with depth gauge for decompression monitoring on decompression tables;
Vision and communication
Mask allows the diver to see clearly underwater and protects the eyes.;
Refraction and underwater vision ;
Full face mask allows talking if no mouthpiece inside.;
Diving helmet used with surface supplied diving.;
Underwater writing slate and pencil to transport pre-dive plans underwater, to record facts whilst underwater and to aid communication with other divers .;
Torch/flashlight is essential in low visibility or dark environments like during night diving, wrecks, caves and for communication.;
Hand-held sonar for a diver.;
