ABC-Diving Equipment

The term diving equipment is used to summarize the technical components that enable people to adapt to the special conditions underwater when diving. Diving equipment includes, in particular, aids for underwater viewing, for supplying breathing air, for protection against cold, for controlling buoyancy, for orientation and for protection against injuries caused by pointed or sharp-edged objects, stones and aquatic life forms such as corals, sea anemones, jellyfish etc. The scope of the equipment used varies with the environmental conditions and the purpose pursued during diving.

The basic diving equipment – also called ABC equipment – consists of the following 3 parts:

  • diving mask (pressure compensation mask)
  • snorkel
  • Fins (preferably open fins that are worn in connection with booties)
