Best Scuba Diving Accessories You Actually NEED

[@mikeramsey9747]

Your energy and enthusiasm for diving is awesome.

[@OceanPancake]

Yess!! Come jump into the water!!

[@davidwalker8359]

Exactly, thank you for the video.

[@carmelolukas7879]

You all probably dont care at all but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me

[@nicebukol3319]

hi! where can i buy the fish id slates?

[@greatwhitesharky3261]

Why after you get your wetsuit should you get accessories? What about the regs, mask, fins, computer etc before the suit?

[@SyrRduDtw]

Had the same thoughts. I am going to assume she believes everyone already had an SMB/reel combo, surface signaling device, compass, cutting device, etc. You know, the basics.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

Your mask and fins should be your first purchases (and a snorkel I guess). Your second should be a computer. Your third should be a wetsuit (and other exposure protection). Regs, a BCD (and yes a computer) are expensive purchases, and they're always offered as rentals. I'd say your own regs and BCD are a bit of a luxury item. You're probably better off putting that money towards dives in the beginning. Then when you're more educated in the different features and possibilities, you can make a better choice in what to get. I tend to research everything to death before I get anything, and what I'm getting is usually overkill for what I'm going to be using it for. But I can rest assured that my gear will grow with me as I get more experienced and move into different disciplines.

[@WeiseGuy91]

Do you have a link to that slate by chance? Shoutout to the 2018 videos!

[@torystoddard6485]

I live in townsville and i've been to yongala a bunch and shopped at prodive cairns like HOW did I stumble on this video

[@jonc2276]

I've been thinking about getting scuba dive certified. I don't know if I will be able to or not, I have a heart murmur. My cardiologist says no strenuous activity.

[@diveinstructordaniel1095]

Jon C get to your doc and let him check it out, if you are able to dive, you need to grab a certificate about your health for your diving license 👌😊

[@jonc2276]

Vod Kanokers I’ll check with them the next time I go in

[@jonah1820]

I like to think that it’s every divers responsibility to pick up any plastics and other rubbish that may pollute the sea this is why I always take some kind of mesh bag. Good video by the way it’s nice to see another scuba pro addict 👍

[@OceanPancake]

I'd like to think so too!! :) And hello fellow scubapro lover

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

I picked up a coke can on my first dive, and got told off by the instructor because there was a tiny bit of coral growing on it.

[@averagediver1819]

How does no one mention the fact the video just cuts out mid sentence. Also. What’s up with your arm @7:57 cutting behind the fin like that? Green screen?

[@hoponasu2471]

Hello - what locations you are diving ?

[@robvasquez79]

Anyone have an Amazon link for the Slate/Pen she showed?

[@tonysmith172]

My wife and I absolutely love to dive. Best thing we’ve ever done. We now have fullface masks. They’re great

[@Krudtbasen]

One thing i nothices is that u say u have to be more than advanced to do night diving mich isn't really Tru u just have to be ready to do night dives

[@OceanPancake]

On a lot of boats or dive shops, they require advanced certification to take you night diving. This is not always the case.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

@@OceanPancake You usually do a night dive in your AOW, but you could forgo the AOW and go straight to specialties after you OW. Problem is that doing a night dive specialty and a deep dive specialty will cost twice as much as an AOW course. That's why AOW is required for dives below 18m or night dives, unless you've completed those specific specialties.

[@jesspeoples3292]

I got a dive computer this past Christmas. Can't wait to use it this year when I go diving.

[@OceanPancake]

Yess!! Have you used it yet?

[@jesspeoples3292]

@@OceanPancake . Yes. I used it on all my dives expect I went to the georgia Aquariuam. It is a great dive computer.

[@manosbak]

Very nice video . Owls are also really silent, when they jump on their prey they fly in really stealth mode :-)

[@robbiemurderingminion2556]

So you don’t hurt you hand when diving in drifts I suggest a reef hook or a pointer stick as some places do not allow gloves which are cheap and easy to use, also an DSMB for essential when diving open water. You can also make a noise maker with bungee cord and a stainless steel nut or washer put around your cylinder and snap it for attention.

[@dronefilmmaker]

I too want to be an instructor. Can u make a vdo on this?

[@aaronbennett293]

Your KZbin videos are cool and awesome keep up the good work

[@AudelinaAdela]

you have even matching T-shirt. there are very nice shots from under the water. Fish ID slated are indeed the basic, to find out what can be seen while diving.

[@OceanPancake]

I do love my matching scuba diving tshirt :) Fish id slates are fantastic

[@veganfitmumma2364]

I have been to the dive show in London a couple of times It's awesome if you want dive gear and normally you get huge discounts What's your pod cast called?? Would love to check it out

[@OceanPancake]

Ocean Pancake :) Definitely check it out. Would mean a lot

[@waynelust9431]

Many protected underwater parks do not allow the use of gloves.

[@Krudtbasen]

Oh how come

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

@@Krudtbasen Because it stimulates divers to put their filthy mitts on everything.

[@kristadronkert2407]

[@HellrazorDogsnDives]

Scubapro too pricy for me, I luckily got all awesome gear for half the price of this stuff.. BUT you just got AWESOME GEAR. Congrats! great Video! I cant wait to see a whale, hvent had the pleasure...

[@harrypink715]

Hellrazor what stuff do you have ??

[@OceanPancake]

There are many brands which are cheaper, and they have their benefits. As a diving instructor having Scubapro, a brand that I have always experienced excellent customer service with is truly worth it. They replace any broken equipment and have service kits which allow your regulators and bcds to be serviced for over 20 years. Many other dive companies stop making service kits for particular items meaning regulators become decommissioned.

[@OceanPancake]

@@harrypink715 Are you looking to start diving?

[@harrypink715]

Thanks for the quick reply, I’ve already been diving for quite a while and I’m just looking into what equipment I should invest in now I’m ready to buy some.
