Buoyancy compensator
Modern designs have made the buoyancy compensator a more lightweight and comfortable piece of diving equipment.

Divers safety gear
If you're a scuba diver, you should check your safety equipment often to make sure everything is functioning correctly. You should also check for rusty knives and dead batteries.

Before you start, make sure you have checked your safety equipment.
Diving computers
Read the manual before you purchase a dive computer. Although most dive computers come with a screen shield, these can easily be damaged or scratched and make it difficult to see the screen when you are not on dry land. To get to know the device, it is important to read and press all the buttons. You should also make sure that you review each function and adjust your preferences. Once you've read the manual, you should clean the dive computer with fresh water after each dive. Then, store it in a cool, dry place.
Backplates
There are many different types of aluminum and steel backplates. Aluminum plates tend to be lighter than steel and composite/Kydex plates. The difference is the weight a diver must carry on their back and how much weight they want to shift to the backplate. You can choose a model that suits your requirements if you wish to use the backplate as a diving gear belt. There are many advantages to both types, but you should be able to tell which one is right for you.
