Scuba
Rangers Diving Equipment
Children are smaller
and thinner than most adults. Experience has shown
us that, for a child's comfort, safety and
performance, it is best when children use equipment
specifically designed for their size and age.
 Here
are a few recommendations when looking for
children's scuba diving equipment:
- Mask
- Diving is not fun if the mask is constantly
leaking. A good fit will provide a good seal.
Mask should be sized to fit their smaller faces.
A quality mask is made of silicon, and has a
lens made of tempered glass for protection
against breakage.
- Wet
Suit - The amount of fun kids will have
is affected by how warm they are. Suits should
be sized for kids so it is snug, but not tight.
Can be either shorty or full suit.
- Buoyancy
Compensator - Proper fit determines comfort and
performance. Should have smaller waist band and
shorter inflator hose.
- Regulator
- Mouth comfort is determined by the size and
weight of the second stage. Look for
light-weight materials and a small mouthpiece.
Should also have shorter hose from the first
stage to the second stage.
