7 best pieces of scuba and freediving gear

[@OceanPancake]

Let me know what your must have dive gear is! Here is my take on the 7 pieces of equipment you need whether you scubadive or free dive once or twenty times a year!

[@byronmurphy1977]

Glad to see you back on form 👍

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

I loved how the dogs immediately went to the edge: "Where'd she go? Is she alright?"

[@jordanlee1243]

Glad to see u back they are good pointers I find the mares fins to be best comfortable for scuba diving and get good power but every ones different

[@feat.shanika]

Love your channel!!!!

[@coffeelawjitsu]

Happy to see your videos again!!!

[@OceanPancake]

Thnks for sticking around

[@rich43210]

I recently bought some Scubapro Seawing Nova fins after watching one of your previous videos, looking forward to using them!

[@OceanPancake]

Oh I am glad to hear that! Let me know how you go. I have found most people reaally love them, If you do feel pressure on the top of your foot however, consider switching to a lower profile boot. (Some people with high arches experience some discomfort)

[@tonysmith172]

We have the seawing nova fins. We love them.

[@chrisphilhower6029]

I like that style mask. Gives more view angles. Except I need RX Lenses. Most of which have that annoying Sqaured frame.

[@OceanPancake]

The best option for lenses is the Scubapro Synergy in my opinion!

[@fozep]

Please do a wetsuit thickness comparison video like you mentioned here!

[@OceanPancake]

Will film that tomorrow!

[@alammar907]

Please we need Compare between scobapro supernova and gorilla !

[@jokerunx3215]

Thank you for your information really appreciate it, and can you share some information about underwater photography 😇

[@OceanPancake]

I am glad you liked the video! I am trying to create some new videos about photography. (I am purchasing a new camera, so I am so excited!!)

[@jokerunx3215]

@@OceanPancake perfect! Really love to dive with you..love from Maldives 🇲🇻

[@tesssutton4064]

For fins you should check out the diveRs on Ningaloo swimwear - they have some cool tiger and whale shark prints! Also obviously adreno have some nice DiveRs and Ruku branded blades, which I’ve heard good things about! Love the video!!! 😁

[@OceanPancake]

Don't they look amazing?? I have been thinking bout those however they are carbon and quite expensive.. So I have been taking my time for research

[@chrisphilhower6029]

My first thought was, Having Katt as an Instructor.

[@leopoldbloom4835]

I‘d burn my brevets and voluntarily restart at OWD!

[@Baldur_1]

What do you think about seac scuba mask?

[@marksmith9303]

Hows your back going nowadays

[@adamengleby5074]

Hi where is the best place you have free dived

[@davidressler9316]

Why the long fins for free diving? Wouldn’t regular stiff fins work better?

[@OceanPancake]

The long freediving fins allow for a greater transfer of power with minimum effort on your muscles. One kick "lasts" longer, therefore you need to kick less frequently to glide further underwater. This is helpful as you do not have as much available oxygen as you do when scuba diving :)

[@hopsears6891]

Could you elaborate on light fins and sharks? Have you have any encounters? I recently got white fins and am rethinking the choice

[@OceanPancake]

Hi! Yes, white or light fins tend to reflect more light. Therefore when you are swimming, they often give the appearance of flickering movement that can be confused for fish. If you are around feeding sharks (on casual dives its not a problem, but shark feeding dives or if anyeone around you is fishing or spear fishing) your fins may appear as the source of the "stressed" fish. Therefore, causing interest in your feet :) I have been around spear fishers for over 2 years (and have several instances where they thought I was a fish themselves because of the colour and flashes of the fins)

[@tithiumm]

Can you help me? i have a phobia called thalassophobia and I'm going to have my first dive class in 3 days and it really scares me any tips?

A fullface mask. We love ours

[@OceanPancake]

Really? For scuba diving? I have not yet tried it

[@tonysmith172]

@@OceanPancake Yes for diving. They’re awesome. We only dive wearing them.

[@yamilmatias8776]

Why did you changed the channel’s name?

[@OceanPancake]

To match my Podcast :) Ocean Pancake Podcast

[@jonnieinbangkok]

I'm sorry but I just can't get past the "Donald Duck" look of the Scuba Pro Novas...I dive Tusa Xpert Zooms now and my next pair will likely be Apeks RK3s or similar.
