How you select your rental scuba diving equipment?

When you rent scuba diving equipment, for your own safety and comfort, you should remember to check the following tips:

Buoyancy Control Device (BCD)

  • Select the correct size. The last thing you want is a BCD that restricts your breathing because it is too tight. Conversely, if it is too large, you may feel you are about to slip out of it.
  • Select a style or make that you are familiar with and take into consideration belts, buckles and fastenings.
  • Check there are no leaks
  • Ensure that the low-pressure inflator connector is securely tightened
  • Ensure that both the deflator and power inflator buttons function correctly and do not stick

Mask

  • Ensure the mask fits correctly and does not leak
  • Check the skirt for damage or tears
  • Check the strap for signs of wear and tear. Bear in mind that if you lose the mask you might hae to pay for it.
  • Ask for an optical mask if required.

Regulators

  • Check ease of breathing through both regulators
  • Ensure regulators mouthpieces are in good condition and that the bite lobes are okay
  • Purge regulator before putting it in your mouth, in the tropics, you never know what might have crawled inside!
  • Check the pressure gauge; satisfy yourself that it does not stick

Fins and booties

  • Be careful to get the size right; too small can results in cramps, too large and they may fall off.
