Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Purchasing your own Scuba Diving equipment
If you are interested in taking up Scuba diving as a hobby, it is important to invest in your own equipment. Scuba diving can be a risky activity and having your own equipment can reduce the risk of equipment malfunctioning since you will be aware of the quality and condition of your own Scuba Diving gear.
For those of you who are looking to purchase your own Scuba Diving Equipment here are some of the most important pieces of equipment that you can buy.
BCDs
Since the BCD is a very important piece of Scuba Diving equipment it is important that you have the right fit as well as one which is of the highest quality. The BCD is what you use to control your buoyancy and therefore any malfunction could be extremely risky. If you own a BCD then you are not only guaranteed that it will fit you well but you will also be able to make sure that it is in working order.
Regulators and Alternate Air Supplies
Having your own regulator and alternate is quite beneficial since this is what you will be using to get your air supply. Having your own instead of one that you have rented means that only you will have used it and you do not have to worry about the countless others who might have used the same regulator.
Fins and a Dive Mask
These two are probably the least expensive of the equipment that you will need to take up Scuba Diving. Having your own fins and mask means that you are ensured that they fit you correctly as well as that they are in good condition. Having your own pair on fin and mask is also beneficial if you enjoy snorkelling. Having your own fins and mask means that you can partake in both Scuba Diving and snorkelling.
Dive Computers
This is a considerable investment but it is a piece of Scuba Diving Equipment that is very necessary for a diver to be both safe and independent. A dive computer is an essential tool that tells you key information that allows you to dive safely and therefore having your own is quite important. Purchasing your own dive computer will allow you to select one of the highest quality and highest functioning. You will be able to get used all the functions and get familiar with it with each dive.
Whether you decide to buy all the equipment you need for diving or just a selected few pieces it is important that you choose gear which is produced by a reputed manufacturer and is made maintaining the highest quality.

A spear gun is a gun designed to fire a spear, usually underwater to catch fish and you can also use this for the sport of underwater spear fishing. When you are diving you will either need snorkeling or scuba gear and some training before you get started. If you want to fish in deep water where the water is murky, you would like to use this kind of fishing equipment to catch fish that are very close to you.

Scuba Diving definitely gets the adrenaline flowing. The concept of life without scuba diving terrifies me, as I will have to face the boring reality of normal life. I am not a typical adrenaline junkie, chasing the next "high". Instead I prefer escaping deep under the ocean; this is one place that I feel in touch with nature and at peace with myself. However, if you are new to scuba diving, there are some important things you need to know.

Reactor did not try to re-invent the watch, instead they took every thing about a watch that was not good and just made it better. The Reactor Heavy Water digital watch is the best tide watch for it's price. Some would say it is the Ultimate Watch.

Question by Ze_Abron: While Scuba diving with your buddy - can you share a single dive computer? Or do you both need one?
I would like to know if i need to go through the extra expense of buying a second one for my wife. They are very expensive. Surely using the dive tables and a single computer is ok? Or is this not recommended? Or is it a definite no-no?
Best answer:
Answer by Heretic
It's a no-no. You each need your own computer.
