options for your personal belongings to lighting and navigation instruments. Whist your standard scuba diving gear will ensure you remain safe in the water, here are some dive accessories you can purchase that will improve your overall dive experience.
A Good Dry Bag
A dry bag is an essential scuba diving accessory as it will ensure your valuables stay nice and dry whilst you are out on a dive. Dry bags are particularly helpful for dive boat dive trips, as the dry areas on the boat are few and far between when there’s lots of divers walking around. There’s nothing worse than getting out of the water to find your change of clothes have become wet in your absence. Don’t take the risk of soggy bottoms, grab a dive bag.
Dive Torch Lights
If you are interested in night diving and exploring the deep in a totally different way, you will need a dive light. A pocket dive torch should be used in addition to your primary dive light, and will ensure if something does happen to your main light, you’ve always got a backup with you.
Dive compass
If you’re looking to map out a shore dive without the comfort of a scheduled dive group, a dive compass will come in very handy. When planning for a shore dive, or if you’re planning on swimming to a popular Perth dive location, a dive compass is an essential piece of scuba diving equipment as it will allow you to successfully navigate whilst underwater. Eliminating the need to pop up to the surface to check your bearings.
Dive computer
A dive computer is a scuba diving gadget if you are looking to combine your gauges and monitors into one device. A dive computer allows scuba divers flexibility to vary their dive depths whilst continuing to monitor their decompression status. More advanced dive computers feature air consumption monitoring tools that can be used without the need for pressure gauges, meaning you can lighten your scuba diving gear.
A good quality dive knife
Don’t be alarmed, you won’t be requiring this to fight off dangerous underwater creatures; the purpose of a good quality dive knife is for personal safety against human error. This could include getting caught underwater either in a cord, crevice or in a stray fishing line.
