Rockbottom - Must Have

1. Snorkel, mask and fins
The very basic equipment required for snorkelling on the water’s surface.

2. Wet suit, dry suit, gloves, boots, fins, watch, dive computer, mask, snorkel, filled cylinder x 2, demand valve, depth gauge, tank pressure gauge, aBLJ jacket, weigh belt, knife, trunks/costume, towel. For the very basic equipment required for a sub-aqua dive, see Links for details.

3. Decompression computer
It’s ok, you don’t need to take a waterproof desktop. These days these ‘bends-avoidance’ devices are so small you can wear them on your wrist like a watch.

4. Diver medical fitness certificate
In accordance with the government’s Health & Safety Executive requirements, professional divers must undertake a medical examination carried out by an approved examiner every twelve months. See Links for details.

5. a boat
Either your own, or one you’ve hired – it’ll probably be too far to swim otherwise.
