There are a few different types of scuba gear, including regulators, tanks, fins, masks, snorkels, and other accessories. Regulators are used to control the flow of air from the tank to the diver's mouth. Tanks hold the compressed air that is needed for breathing underwater. Fins help the diver move around in the water more efficiently. Masks protect the diver’s eyes and nose from the water. Snorkels allow divers to breathe while they are swimming on the surface. Other accessories include dive computers, lights, cameras, compasses, and knives.
