  • Buoyancy compensator, also known as Buoyancy Control Device, BCD or BC - is usually a back mounted or sleeveless jacket style device which includes an inflatable bladder used to adjust the buoyancy of the diver under water, and provide positive buoyancy at the surface. The buoyancy compensator is usually an integral part of the harness system used to secure the scuba set to the diver. The earlier collar style buoyancy compensator is seldom used any more.

Buoyancy compensator, also known as Buoyancy Control Device, BCD or BC (buoyancy compensator) - is usually a back-mounted or sleeveless jacket style device which includes an inflatable bladder used to adjust the buoyancy of the diver under water, and it also provides positive buoyancy at the surface of the water.[7] The buoyancy compensator is usually a fundamental part of the harness system used to secure the scuba set to the diver. The earlier collar style buoyancy compensator is seldom used any more.

Dive Gloves

Dive gloves are used when either scuba diving or snorkeling. They help keep bacteria and harmful things from touching your skin. They protect your skin in many ways.[8] They also protect underwater life. For example, if you touched a coral with your bare hands, you would rub the mucous off of the coral and it could die. But if you had the dive gloves on that wouldn't happen, the dive gloves would keep you and the coral safe from each other. Dive gloves come in many different colors and there are many different brands.[9][10] They all work and are fine to use. It doesn't matter what brand or color you use because they all serve the same purpose.
