- Alternative air source, is your backup second stage regulator. It works just the same as the primary second stage regulator and can be used in the unlikely event that your primary fails or your dive buddy needs to share air. It is usually a bright color such as fluorescent yellow or pink and is normally secured somewhere within the triangle between the chin and the bottom of the rib cages, normally on the right side.It also known as Octopus
- A Buoyancy Control Device (or BCD for short) is the jacket that scuba divers wear. It serves a few basic functions: It contains an inflatable bladder which you can add or subtract air from, allowing you to change your buoyancy in the water, The dive cylinder is attached to the back of the BCD using a tank strap, It allows the diver to carry or attach all of their accessories using its inbuilt pockets and D-Rings .
- Booties, is also used to protect the feet, particularly when shore diving, and some divers find them more comfortable than full foot fins.
- Fins, are long flat rubber or plastic extensions of your feet that allow you to swim with much greater ease and speed. The two primary varieties of fins are full-foot and open-heeled. Full-foot fins completely cover the foot like a shoe and are most commonly used in warm tropical water. Open-heeled fins have a strap across the back and are worn with booties to allow the feet more warmth and comfort. It also known as Flippers .
