Total Diving Systems

The Snorkeling System consists of the equipment to help you see, breathe, and move around at the top of the water once you start diving. Your surface support system consists of your mask, fins, booties, snorkel and mesh bag. The Snorkeling System makes up one part of the ten pieces of gear that are required to enroll in Open Water classes at SeaVentures.

The Exposure System helps you stay warm and protected from your external environment (scratches from coral, jellyfish stings, sharp rocks, etc) while you are diving. It consists of gloves, a full skin or full wetsuit, and a hooded vest or a hood. Gloves are a part of the SeaVentures’ ten pieces that are required to enroll in Open Water classes at SeaVentures. A wetsuit, skin, hood, or vest is not required for class but highly recommended, as you will need them for open water diving.

The air delivery system is one of the most important parts of scuba diving because it is how you receive air to breathe underwater. It consists of the first stage (allows air to exit the tank through hoses), second stage (allows you to breathe the air in from the tank on demand), and the air source (a second, emergency regulator that is usually either connected by a brightly colored hose or integrated into your BC). Air delivery systems can be rented, however it is highly recommended that you purchase, become familiar with, and maintain your own. The best way to guard against accidents in scuba diving is knowledge and familiarity.

How do you know when, how, or where to end your dive? Simple: by monitoring tank pressure, consumption, dive length, and location through use of an air management system. The information system consists of your dive computer, pressure gauge, and compass. There are many different types of information systems to choose from based on your diving needs. Information ystems can be rented, however it is highly recommended that you purchase, become familiar with, and maintain your own.

People float – there’s no way around it. The best way to help yourself sink, then become neutrally buoyant underwater without disturbing your underwater environment is through the use of a buoyancy control device and weights. A buoyancy control device is a vest for scuba diving that serves many purposes: it holds your tank, inflates and deflates to help with buoyancy, and has areas to clip or store things such as your slate and camera. Depending on the BCD’s style, it may also include integrated weight pockets or an alternate safety air source. Weight amounts can vary based on whether you are diving in salt water or freshwater. You will become acclimated to using weights in an Open Water class, and become an expert by taking a Perfect Buoyancy class. BCDs can be rented, however it is highly recommended that you purchase, become familiar with, and maintain your own.
