Title: Scuba Gear
1With a great vision in mind, Divers Supply was
started in 1977 as a small operation in Macon,
GA. Now if you know anything about Macon, it is
not what anyone would consider to be a "prime
location" for scuba diving, with only a few lakes
and quarries in the area. Nevertheless, the "dive
shop" was opened off exit 5, I-475 in Macon,
Georgia. With our tremendous SCUBA training
programs, dive travel, and great diving equipment
deals we have been able to grow the "dive shop"
into a 35,000 square foot store with a full
training facility and indoor heated pool.
2 Scuba Gear
- Scuba is kind of a common word among people who
love swimming and with people who are most
interested in exploring aquatic life. - Do you know what scuba stands for?
- SCUBA stands for Self-Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus but Scuba sounds pretty good
so we stick to it.

4 First Time Scuba?
- If you are planning to Scuba Dive for the first
time you can go with a combo or a bundle pack
because analyzing and purchasing all these
products individually will take a lot of time.
Also if you buy each one separately the cost will
be on the higher side. - Most of you might know mostly all the products
here, but if you are new to Scuba Diving you
might not be familiar with the term BCD. So let
us explain what BCD is in detail for your better
understanding.
5 BCD BC
- BCD stands for Buoyancy Control Device and BC
stands for Buoyancy Compensator. These devices
work using an Inflatable Air Bladder and Weight
Pockets. - Well first of all lets understand about
Buoyancy, Buoyancy means the ability or tendency
to float in water or any other fluids.
6 Buoyancy
- Lets relate it to diving. When a swimmer tries
to dive into the bottom of a pool or sea it will
take more effort for the swimmer wherever he is
swimming. - If you are planning to become a Diver you must
know how to Float, Hover and Sink in water. This
is the place where BCD will come in handy for
you. - If you see professional Scuba Divers they will
often be seen wearing lead weights to counteract
the positive buoyancy of their bodies and their
gears.
7 Types of Buoyancy
- There are three types of Buoyancies you need to
be aware of - Positive Buoyancy
- Negative Buoyancy
- Neutral Buoyancy
- You will need Positive Buoyancy on the surface,
Negative Buoyancy to descend and once you reach
the depth you desire you need Neutral Buoyancy to
stay there, After again when you need to come
back to the surface you need positive Buoyancy. - If you are new these types may look complicated
for you but once you try this, it will be easy
for you to understand and adapt. We hope now you
got all the information about Buoyancy. - All the Scuba Gear Items we mentioned here are
available in Divers Supply.
