This instructional video demonstrates what the features on your dive regulator do for you. Some, but not all, Scuba Regulators have diver adjustable knobs or switches. This particular scuba diving regulator has a “Diver Adjustable” Air flow knob which allows the scuba diver to adjust the air flow during his/her dive. It also has a “Diver Adjustable” venturi switch to prevent unwanted free-flow when the regulator is not in your mouth.

Wetsuits are made for a wide variety of uses including Snorkeling, Water Skiing, Surfing, Jet Skiing and of course SCUBA Diving.
Most suits are completely interchangeable between sports � the 3mm Shorty that you use Scuba Diving today in Hawaii can be used next weekend back home water-skiing.
Wetsuits are made of neoprene, a porous material containing literally millions of tiny bubbles.
A wetsuit must fit snugly if it is to be an effective at keeping you warm. We have a chart on our site: View Wetsuit Fit for more info.
If in doubt, always buy a wetsuit slightly warmer than your needs. If your wetsuit is keeping you too warm you can always let water in to cool you down by slightly unzipping the suit. But if you are cold during a dive there is not much you can do except stop diving.

The Republic of Panama, which is more commonly known as simply Panama is the southern most country of Central America. It borders Costa Rica to the west, Columbia to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.
One of the most intriguing pieces of Panama and perhaps the most popular, is the world famous “Panama Canal”. The Panama Canal is a passageway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the country of Panama. Panama was chosen for this because it is the narrowest landmass between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. The Panama Canal is about 50 miles long and during the approximately 80 years that the canal has been in use, over 800,000 ships have taken advantage of it. Nearly 40 ships each and every day are passing through the Canal and the numbers are continuing to rise more and more each year.
Some of the big highlights that Panama has to offer are enchanting wildlife, dazzling rainforests, colorful underwater adventures, and charming white sandy beaches! What better way to enjoy all of these wonderful sites than by taking a charter yacht vacation. These tours give you a great feel for not only the Canal but Panama itself, as well as the many beautiful islands it has to share that are virtually uninhabited.
Cebaco Bay is located on the southern end of Isla Cebaco which is an uninhabited island made up of pristine, white sandy beaches and literally thousands of coconut trees. They offer trilling white water rafting, superb scuba diving, and big game fishing with some of the largest fish in the world. Not only are Panama’s islands well known for its deep sea fishing, but many world records have either been set or broken within these waters!
As always, almost all charter yacht vacation tours around Panama are all-inclusive. This includes all your gourmet meals and fine foods, beverages and open bar, along with your water sports. Scuba Gear and state of the art deep sea fishing equipment are also available; if that’s the type of charter yacht you’re looking for. Remember, this may vary slightly from broker to broker so it is always a good idea to do your research first, depending on what activities are the most important to you and your family. The Pacific side of Panama is home to a wealth of tropical islands from the palm tree speckled beaches of the Archipelago of Las Perlas, to the notorious colony located on the pristine island of Coiba! Coiba to this day remains a prison for the country’s most hardened criminals and is comparable to America’s Alcatraz. This adds a bit of island adventure to the trip and is an amazing, historical site to see.
Panama’s islands are home to a wealth of beauty, history, vegetation and wild life. In the past, this destination was primarily used as a stop over and not really considered a destination to visit by travellers. These days, people who are wanting a relaxing and unique vacation experience are starting to realize just what Panama has to offer. So if you are looking for something exotic and fascinating that will give you an unforgettable experience to treasure for a lifetime, then behold the islands of Panama!

If you dream of getting away from it all and relaxing on the Caribbean coast, a holiday in Guardalavaca, Cuba, could be just what you are looking for. Located near Holguin on the northeast coast of Cuba, Guardalavaca is something of a hidden gem when it comes to Cuban beach resorts. The beach is fantastic, the resort has plenty of activities to keep you occupied and Guardalavaca’s hotels are top notch, but the resort remains quiet, secluded and unspoilt, making it ideal for a relaxing beach vacation. Here are a few highlights for a Guardalavaca holiday.
The Beaches
Most people come to Guardalavaca for one thing and one thing only – time on the beach. As though it weren’t enough for a resort to have one beautiful beach, while you are on a Guardalavaca holiday you can choose from three – Guardalavaca beach itself, Esmerelda beach, and Playa Pesquero. There’s even a mini train that connects Guardalavaca beach to Esmerelda, making it easy to move between the two.
All three beaches feature pristine white sand that slopes gently into clear water, dotted with the occasional tree to provide a spot of shade. The presence of the coral reef at Guardalavaca keeps the water calm most of the time, making it perfect for families and gentle swimming. Catamarans, pedalos and other common beach activities are all available for those who would like to do more than sunbathe.
Reef Diving
Out of all the diving spots in Cuba, Guardalavaca is a real highlight for scuba enthusiasts due to the expansive coral reef, located a few miles offshore. Teeming with wildlife, the reef is a wonder to explore while scuba diving, with plenty of caves and sheer drops to see. If you tire of the coral reefs themselves, there are a number of shipwrecks that can also be seen. If you are interested in scuba diving, the resort has several diving centres who can arrange trips and equipment rental for the best dive sites.
Swimming with Dolphins
Swimming with dolphins can be an amazing experience, and if you are on holiday in Guardalavaca you will have the perfect opportunity to take part in this unique activity. Close to the resort is the Acuario Cayo Naranjo aquarium, where you can see spectacular dolphin, seal and walrus shows, and then swim with the dolphins yourself. The trainers will teach you how to get the dolphins to splash and clap, and there is also the chance to “surf” on the dolphins at the end of your swim. People of all ages are able to take part, and life jackets are provided.
Deep Sea Fishing
Deep sea fishing has been associated with Cuba ever since Ernest Hemingway (who was a keen hunter and fisherman when he wasn’t writing books) made the island his home in the 1930s, and the Cuban waters are rich with tuna, barracuda, sailfish, snapper, grouper, and many other kinds of fish. Those on holiday in Guardalavaca can take part in this exciting and demanding activity, and you don’t need to be a veteran fisherman to do it. Experienced crews can teach you the basics and take you out, and the concentration of fish around the reef makes Guardalavaca a great place to go for deep sea fishing trips.

I am enrolled in the open water course currently and am wondering on how much my next class will cost. I want to know from experience. I am going to a padi local dive center in Michigan. My open water course cost me 300 dollars and my books were 100.00. What am I looking at for books and course for advanced? And if you know, rescue diver and divemaster. Thank you for your help!
Ps. When I am finished doing advanced open water they said I could work for them. Doing so I am going to have to buy equipment from there store. Whats the cheapest I could get away with. I have a mask,bag,fins,snorkel,wet boots.
Hi Dusty,
As a ROUGH idea (it’ll vary greatly from centre to centre), you’re looking at Advanced being US$250, Rescue Diver US$325, and DiveMaster around US$600. The prices I have, however, include books and rental gear for the duration of the course.
As to your equipment – that’s even more of a variation! If you’re buying from the centre you’re working for, I’d have though that they’ll be the best place to give you a price!
Good luck and have fun!
Besides the super glue to keep the donut mask and the single swim fin on?
I don’t know, I am new at this. Maybe a redone thimble?
This sounds like a Wally question.
I would think that weight would be required to hold the worm down in the water, Glue him to the magnifying glass so he can see under water, and depth gage so he can see how deep he is at, so that he doesn’t get the bends when he comes back up. Nothing like a worm with the bends.
I know i need a regulator, mask, fins, snorkel, bc wetsuit…what else do i need. And…what should i spend on each item if i can only spend up to 1000 dollars?
If that’s your limit, then I suggest that after you’ve bought your mask/snorkel/ fins, get your reg set. It’s by far one of your most important gear decisions and it has the ability to be custom fit (mouthpiece) and the regs tuned, just for your breathing style. Rental regs are just like a rental car, average.
You can expect to spend anywhere from 500 bucks to 1500 bucks on a full set of regs. A BC you can rent until you’ve saved up again. It’s important gear too, but your regs will work with it and it will also give you the opportunity to try out different BC’s before you buy.
Lastly, travel concerns. Right now, you’re traveling light. A reg set takes up little room and can be can (should) be carried on board an aircraft. Your BC and exposure suit take up a lot of room. You can rent this stuff at your destination.
he had a hose going over his shoulder .can you tell me where he gets his gas he breaths
Good manners dictate that I can’t answerer this with the first thought that came to mind
