Ensure you have all the necessary equipment
It?s extremely important to have equipment that you can rely on and that is appropriate for the conditions you?ll be in. If you?re a first time diver, most teachers have all the necessary equipment for you to loan, but it is still a good idea to have a general idea of what you should be using when in the water. The most important piece to have with you is a scuba regulator ? you want to ensure it works with a variety of applications and different conditions such as warm or cold water, and deep or shallow water. Other pieces you?ll need include a wet or dry suit, octos (an alternate air source), buoyancy compensator, mask and fins.
Wear Diver?s ear plugs
Doc?s ProPlugs can be worn for a variety of water sports and diving events to help prevent infections such as Swimmer?s Ear. Swimmer?s Ear is a common inflammation that can affect anyone who spends a lot of time in the water. It is extremely painful and can quite easily ruin your scuba diving plans if not avoided at all costs. As with most things, prevention is always easier than the cure. Shield your ears from the water and you can dive to the deepest depths without feeling ear discomfort. Doc?s ProPlugs are vented to allow for safer equalization when diving.
Communication
There are a variety of communicative tools available to divers. There are microphones, slates that can be written on and the use of hand signals. If you will be diving with an instructor the basic hand signals should be covered. It is one of the most common ways for divers to communicate with each other as they can be seen and understood from quite a distance.

Bring home the memories
For many this will be a once in a lifetime experience, so make sure you take the time to explore the marine life around you and make sure you take lots of photos ? you?ll regret it if you don?t. You can either invest in a good underwater camera or find a reputable place to rent one. While booking your scuba diving activity, make sure to ask the instructor if you?ll need to buy any equipment including an underwater camera or if they are available to borrow.
Get the most of the dive
By breathing properly and consuming your air efficiently you won?t have to cut your dive short. Breathe deeply and slowly, try to restrict movement when possible, make sure your gear is streamlined, stay horizontal for as long as possible and relax. Preserving the air you have will ensure you get to see all that you can.
With these tips you?re sure to have the best diving experience possible.
