Scuba Diving and Swimsuits?
Hello,
I am planning on going scuba diving this summer and need to get a new bathing suit as well. Along with the gear that I will be wearing, a rash guard and such, what kind of bathing suit would you suggest wearing underneath?
A bikini, tankini, one piece?
What would be best?
Thank you!
also wear can I find a swimsuit like this

I don't really care about how I LOOK I was just wondering what would be easier to wear, what would be more comfortable in the wet suit.
I don't have to worry about my dive buddy, it is my husband and he just wants me to be comfortable and safe
I usually wear a one-piece, it's pretty comfortable for me. Did you get your rash guard yet? Cressi is a really great brand, it's what I wear – there's a really cute pink Cressi rash guard at http://www.primescuba.com/crsubragubi.html, it's only $22.
It's of course important to choose scuba diving clothing that is comfortable, but make sure you're comfortable with the dive itself. Once you're comfortable with that, you will be so excited that you won't even notice what kind of bathing suit you're wearing underneath. Scuba diving is like nothing else 
Scuba Diving Regulator – best for beginner?
I'm new to scuba diving (LOVE IT) and am starting to accumulate the gear. However, I'm not made of money so I am trying to find a balance between durability and cost. Any recommendations or perhaps even models I should avoid? Thanks in advance!
There are no cheap regulators. Your regulator is part of your life support equipment under water. Functionally all regulators are equal. They are designed to let you breathe underwater on demand at all depths.
Most Scuba shop will let you try the regulator before you buy it. Some regulators are pricier than others. My suggestion for you will be to try a couple of them, and see how you like it. You may have preference, being a left or a right handed person, how to operate the regulator.
The manufacturers are continuously making improvements to these devices. Check out the website below. From their main page go to gear, and then to regulators, and you will find a lot of discussions, comparisons etc.
I am enrolled in this scuba diving class and I am a good swimmer I swim 50 laps a day;however, I am still a?
little fearful of diving class. I haven't ever attended any diving class yet I am fixing to. I dive down to the bottom of the pool when I am swimming without gear and that is a 16ft. pool. Why am I a little fearful and is this normal?
Being a little anxious or nervous is normal before the class. It is a completely new activity that just isn't "normal". Here are my tips:
1. Pay attention.
2. Ask questions. There are three types of questions:
–You think it is stupid, but you know what, five other people in the class are thinking the exact same thing. Ask it.
–You actually answer your own question while asking it, but you know what, five other people in the class are thinking the exact same thing. Ask it.
–Something you don't understand. Ask it.
3. Slow and steady. Nothing in scuba diving is fast.
How much weight will I need Scuba diving in British Columbia with a wet suit…?
Going Scuba diving today in British Columbia, It's been about 10 years since I've done a cold water dive, when I used to dive here I used a dry Suit… Since I'm renting gear and going with a newer diver we are just going to use wet suits. I am 195lb male how much weight would be a best guess I was thinking 35lbs but I'm unsure…
Thanks for input!
In B.C. you're likely diving a 7mm double. 35 pounds is a bit much. I'd start at 24 and work your way up in increments of two pounds I bet you'll need about 28 until you float at eyeball level with the air out of your BC but you're better to go light than heavy since this is a fist trip out in awhile for you.
Your body weight means nothing. Your body type does. No fat and all muscle and bone requires less lead. Big chubby fella and you actually need a little more lead since generally your buoyancy is more for the same body mass.
36 pounds plus 3 pounds in ankle weights are what I use for my dry suit, not wet suit so you see why you'd be over weighted.
Fellow United fans break out your scuba diving gear?
Because this whole section is getting flooded with sore losers tears. Get it on quick before you drown in the woes of an Arsenal or Liverpool fan.
@ Miss carolyn- I know your not a sore loser, that wasn't out to you.
@ touz- Like I said before, drink yourself to sleep. Nobody want's to see you be a sore loser.
I can't find mine:(
HELP, I'M GONNA DROWN:((((((((((((((((

If a recyclable condom goes scuba diving with sharks, does it still need to wear the "protective gear"?
I'm planning on swimming with Great White Sharks, but I don't know if a recyclable condom would need any protection or not…?
I never really needed protection before, so is it really necessary?
I mean, all the other normal condoms don't.. They'll all mock me if I do(Those non Biodegradable bastards).
So, my question is:
Do you think a recyclable condom is strong enough to swim with the sharks, protection-free?
Joey – I'm part of the recyclable condom race. I would appreciate it, if you showed me some respect.
*Sighhh*
Everyone I do not wear condoms, because I AM the condom. A recyclable one at that. 
jims mom – Being born without a brain will do that to people.
La_rose_noire – Holy FUCKING SHIT! Those beasts are a recyclable condom's worst nemesis! D':
Burn themmmmm. D':
Since the water is filled with sea men……A condom is good idea
How do you get back in a 13 ft Boston Whaler after diving?
I am diver and was wondering about this.. This would be done in open ocean and in full scuba gear??
13' boston whaler have low free-board so getting back in the boat is not too hard. you have a couple of choices:
purchase a 3 or 4 step ss boarding/swim ladder that will temporally mount to the gunnel's or transom of the boat. there are several different designs that you can look at.
you could also rig a loop of line tied to the side of the boat to use as an underwater step to help you get back in the boat.
they also make a "u" shaped step that attaches on the side of the transom. it pivots up when running and down to use as a step.
here's one that looks good
