Diving Equipment: Choice, maintenance and function is a guide to
how diving gear works. It is completely independent of brands -
focusing instead on the design, technology and practicality of the
equipment options available for scuba and other types of diving.
Former Head of Education at PADI Sweden Jonas Arvidsson details the
choices that divers are faced with, and gives tips to help ensure
your gear will last. If you want to better understand diving kit
without having to dismantle it, then Diving Equipment - with its
colourful illustrations and explanations of the hidden inner
workings - is the answer. Although it is therefore of obvious
benefit to newer divers, Diving Equipment will also be of interest
to the experienced. Divemasters, instructors, those in need of a
refresher and curious non-divers are all likely to find out things
they did not previously know. This book covers a wide range of
diving gear options including: accessories, BCDs, computers,
cylinders, drysuits, fins, gauges, masks, rebreathers, regulators,
sidemount, snorkels, stages, torches, weights, wetsuits, wings and
more... Although many of the dives we make are in tropical regions,
Diving Equipment has an international perspective. It covers a
range of conditions; discusses laws and regulations in different
parts of the world; suggests what to look out for and what to ask
locals about. Anyone who asks technical questions will often be
directed to have a look at equipment manufacturers' websites, but
those have limited descriptions of how equipment really works. This
book aims to plug the gap. Diving Equipment also includes some less
common and older items for interest and historical comparison, and
finishes with some speculation on what the future might bring.
