Since man began scratching pictures on the walls of his cave to describe their daily lives, there has been a continuous record of its attempt to explore and exploit the sea. We find references to man's propensities as a diver in the historical period of early man until today. The man's culture has, of course, been strongly influenced by his adventures above and below the surface of the sea.

First, you need to learn the basic equipment and the reasons for its use. It is axiomatic say that mastery of the skills used in skin diving is fundamental. The basic equipment used by Scuba Diver skin and consists mainly of three elements, mask, fins and snorkel. We will deal with each in turn.

MASK - Purpose

The mask is used to provide an air space between the eye and water. The eye of man is a very imperfect body when exposed directly to water. However, when air enters the space between the eye and the water, the functions of the eye normal. Due to the refraction of water, objects seen through the mask under water will be magnified by approximately 25 percent.

MASK - Fit

The mask should fit snugly but not so tightly that it is uncomfortable. A good method of checking the fit of the mask is to put in place, do not use the band head, a breath through your nose, and withdraw the hand. If the mask fits properly, the mask will remain in force until the small void that was created is released. If the mask leaks air around the face, also leak. Selecting the appropriate mask is a purely individual, due to different contours of the face, and taste.

FINS - Purpose

The purpose of the fins is to increase the surface area or foot propulsion, allowing the diver to significantly increase its thrust without an increase equal to the effort.

FINS - Usage

When the order is placed on the foot she and the foot should be moist. The foot should be thrust well forward, and then the heel or strap (depending on what type of fin is used.) Extended to the heel, both in the same way that puts on a pair of rubbers.

SNORKEL - Purpose

The snorkel has two main purposes, therefore of primary importance for skin diving. The purpose of the snorkel is to enable the diver to breathe without the need to operate it in the head above the surface. This is significant tremendous for the diver. The skin diver is what allowed to lie in the water, tied his face below the surface, exploring the background.

The main objective second snorkel is like a piece of emergency equipment. Obviously, if a diver is able to be in a prone position, without lifting his head so that air is much more relaxed and rested. Their resilience in emergency situations has expanded the use of snorkeling.

SNORKEL - Usage

As mentioned above, The purpose of the snorkel is to enable the diver to breathe while your face is under water. Therefore, the nozzle is held in the mouth of the diver, while the rectum "mother" of the J band is placed between the diving mask and head. At the dive, the diver's breath is held against the tube.

After surface, divers head back to the horizontal, with the open end of the tube projects above the surface. The diver exhales through the tube with a short beep, sharp, much as if you were using a bean-shooter, so the drain pipe that allows water and start breathing normally through the mouth. The optimal duration of the snorkel is in the neighborhood of 13 inches from the nozzle into the open end of the J.

Once you have this basic equipment, it's time to start diving.
