BC Specs: Sport Buoyancy Compensator SIZE LARGE, Fadeless 1600 Denier Ballistic Nylon Construction. The Integrated Inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. Air Cell wrap-around jacket system provides more lift than most BC's. Regulator Specs: A1 Regulator. Both first stage and second stage. Nitrox (EAN) compatible from the factory up to 40%. The A1's unique deflector vane and housing design diverts airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted inhalation. Oct/Octopus Specs: A1 Standard Octo. Second Stage. Housing made from an ABS/Polycarbonate blend of materials making the regulator lightweight and durable. Nitrox compatible to 40%. Console Specs: Aeris 200' Compact Size Maximum Scuba Depth Console. Featuring the Aeris 200' depth gauge with maximum depth indicator.

Best scuba diving BC?
There are alot of scuba BC's on the market. Which is the best without spending a fortune?
I would not recommend at a certain type of BC. I would rent some different ones for your local dive shop and then choose. BC fit differently underwater, so could buy a BC and think that it fits good. But when you go diving with it you don't like it. I DON'T like the back inflating BC because when they are inflated you face is in the water and it take some work to say upright when you are one the surface.
What is a bc in scuba diving?
i would like to no what it is and how 2 use it and what does it do plz
BC stands for "buoyancy compensator". It plays a few roles: - keep the diver afloat when at the surface - control buoyancy when underwater - supports the air tank it is actually an air bladder with a harness that is worn by divers. a hose connects the BC to the air tank so it can be inflated and deflated. you will learn how to use it if you go for an open water diver course.
Scuba diving ??????????
ok so recently i was helping my friend move and she is a trained licensed
scuba diver or wait she in training rite now and we were talking about her scuba tanks and i was like hey those kinda look like to large paintball co2 tanks and she was like ya basically there just filled with co2 and i was like what that cant be right bc u cant really breathe carbon dioxide bc its an exhaust of your body converting oxygen to carbon dioxide basically when you breathe oxygen your body takes it and converts it to co2 when exhaled and i was thinking that it was probably kinda like the same as the atmosphere filled in them i think the atmosphere is like 72 percent nitrogen and 22 percent oxygen or somthing like that and the other stuff that in it and i researched it and basically thats what it was filled with and i told her u cant breath pure carbon dioxide and thats what causes sideaches when your running and not exhaling the co2 fast enough so basically what im saying is are her scuba takes filled with co2 or oxygen and nitrogen???
SCUBA tanks are filled with the same air you breath every day. The air is pulled from the surrounding environment and compressed by a compressor and runs through filters that clean it and dry it. Over the past 20 years, there has been more interest in Nitrox which is merely air with extra O2 added, but you need additional training to use this mix as O2 is toxic at the deeper depths and adding a higher concentration of o2 changes the partial pressure in the mix. There are also different decompression profiles that must be adhered to. It's main use is to decrease decompression time when doing deeper diving profiles. Profiles above the o2 toxicity depths. Less N2 in the mix means less buildup of the inert gas in your cells, therefore, less hang time required to off gas to safe levels before reaching the surface. When the diving gets really deep, one must go to tri-mix that use He to decrease N2 or Heliox that completely replaces N2.
What are some of the best places to go scuba diving?
my boyfriend and i are taking a vacation in july and want to get certified as scuba divers. What are some good places? Please name as many as you can think of. Also, pinching pennies isnt a huge priority. Also, i stress we are going IN JULY bc i know a lot of good places may not be ideal in july bc of weather conditions that month.
You're actually better off to get certified at home before your vacation. 1/ There are dive shops everywhere. You don't need to be near an ocean to learn to dive. 2/ If your local conditions are "cooler" water, that's actually good. You'll be a better trained diver than the person on that "resort course". In my experience, the Instructors are also usually better at home than at a resort destination. They will see you again, a resort Instructor won't. 3/ Training at home means that when you jump off the plane at your resort, you can go diving. Learning at the resort and you'll blow at least 2 days of your vacation in class and not heading out to the reef. 4/ Your instructors at home are fluent in your language. Not sort of fluent...they are fluent. 5/ The money you spend on your course stays in your economy, not some other country. The price is usually the same as well. That all said, and money no object, three destinations come in mind for Open Water students. A: Cozumel, off the east coast of Mexico. It's the northern extension of the world's second largest barrier reef system and is in a tourist safe region. B: The east coasts of Honduras and Belize. Both are dotted with dive resorts and are the main part of the second largest barrier reef. C: Sharm el Sheikh, in Egypt. Also a dive resort destination with a reef system Those are the most popular, followed by Thailand's Phuket areas, Bonnaire, Curacao, Turks and Caicos and if money really isn't a factor Australia's barrier reef. I can't vouch for Australia's weather patterns in July, but you'll just beat Hurricane season in the Carib with Bonnaire and Curacao being the safest bets.
