Instructor’s Advice Boat
Buy your own BCD bouyancy jacket! You will master buoyancy faster and dive more often.
Instructor’s Advice
Should I borrow a mask and fins? Please don’t. Showing up with poorly fitted borrowed gear that pre-dates the Mesozoic era is dangerous and and can be uncomfortable. Innovations have been made that increase diver safety as well as comfort. Leave the old gear at home.
Instructor’s Advice
Flippers or fins? We use diving fins. Flipper is the name of a famous dolphin from the movies.
Instructor’s Advice
Exchange your gear during your training at Scuba Fusion. This ensures that your mask or fins fit before attempting ocean dives. You just cannot know if a mask is going to fit you until your in the water. Buy from the store you are taking lessons with!
