What are dive toys for?
Dive toys can be used to encourage older children to put their head under the water and improve their diving skills. By turning diving into a game, children will learn these vital skills through play. The cute Pufferfish Dive Sticks come in a pack of three. Pool toys are any objects that are used for entertainment in and around the water. They include noodles, floaties, dive rings, inflatable rings, kickboards, beach balls and inflatable rafts.Floaties, also known as water wings or inflatable arm bands, are commonly used by parents to help their children stay afloat in the water. They are often seen as a convenient way to introduce young kids to swimming.
What is diving equipment called?
Diving equipment used by recreational scuba divers, also known as scuba gear, is mostly personal equipment carried by the diver, but professional divers, particularly when operating in the surface supplied or saturation mode, use a large amount of support equipment not carried by the diver. Technical diving is a more complex, and challenging, form of scuba diving. Technical divers rely on specialized training, equipment, and mixed gases to safely descend beyond the recreational limit to depths that can exceed 90 meters (300 feet).
What are the ABCs of diving?
Consider the ABCs of diving: airway, breathing and clearing, on every dive. Even the most experienced divers can have an issue if their eyes, ears, nose or mouth unexpectedly come into contact with water. At the surface, make sure you inflate your BC and are positively buoyant. Breathe slowly and deeply. The top tip to conserve air when scuba diving is learning to breathe properly underwater. Getting into a rhythm and taking longer, deeper breaths will allow your body to absorb more oxygen. By exhaling fully this will reduce the ”dead air” volume and will eliminate Carbon Dioxide.Professional divers always practice and also take a deep breath before diving. By holding their breath, the divers can expel carbon dioxide out of their bodies when stay underwater. Almost all healthy adults easily hold their breath for one to two minutes.Professional divers always practice and also take a deep breath before diving.

Almost all healthy adults easily hold their breath for one to two minutes.Never hold your breath. This is undoubtedly by far the most crucial of all safety rules for diving because failure to adhere could result in fatality. If you hold your breath underwater at the depths at which scuba divers reach then the fluctuating pressure of air in your lungs can rupture the lung walls.How long is it safe for the average person to hold their breath? One minute is probably the limit. You might be able to hold your breath for 90 seconds and not get into trouble. But most people will likely hit the safety threshold somewhere between 1 minute and 90 seconds.
What is the 120 rule in diving?
The rule advises that the dive depth (in feet) in addition to the time a diver spends underwater (in minutes) should add up to no more than 120. The purpose of this rule is to help scuba divers to avoid serious dangers such as nitrogen narcosis as well as decompression sickness by keeping them within a safe range. A safety stop, usually done for three minutes at about five meters or fifteen feet, gives your body that extra time to release nitrogen absorbed during your dive. This simple pause helps reduce the risk of decompression sickness and allows your body to adjust gently before surfacing.
