Scuba Gear
                     With a great vision in mind, Divers Supply was started in 1977 as a small operation in 
Macon, GA. Now if you know anything about Macon, it is not what anyone would 
consider to be a "prime location" for scuba diving, with only a few lakes and quarries in 
the area. Nevertheless, the "dive shop" was opened off exit 5, I-475 in Macon, Georgia. 
With our tremendous SCUBA training programs, dive travel, and great diving 
equipment deals we have been able to grow the "dive shop" into a 35,000 square foot 
store with a full training facility and indoor heated pool.
Scuba Gear
Scuba is kind of a common word among people who love swimming and with people who 
are most interested in exploring aquatic life.
Do you know what scuba stands for?
SCUBA stands for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus but Scuba sounds 
pretty good so we stick to it.

First Time Scuba?
If you are planning to Scuba Dive for the first time you can go with a combo or a bundle pack 
because analyzing and purchasing all these products individually will take a lot of time. Also 
if you buy each one separately the cost will be on the higher side.
Most of you might know mostly all the products here, but if you are new to Scuba Diving you 
might not be familiar with the term BCD. So let us explain what BCD is in detail for your 
better understanding.
BCD & BC
BCD stands for Buoyancy Control Device and BC 
stands for Buoyancy Compensator. These devices work 
using an Inflatable Air Bladder and Weight Pockets. 
Well first of all let’s understand about Buoyancy, 
Buoyancy means the ability or tendency to float in water 
or any other fluids.
Buoyancy
Let’s relate it to diving. When a swimmer tries to dive into the bottom of a pool or sea it will 
take more effort for the swimmer wherever he is swimming. 
If you are planning to become a Diver you must know how to Float, Hover and Sink in water. 
This is the place where BCD will come in handy for you.
If you see professional Scuba Divers they will often be seen wearing lead weights to 
counteract the positive buoyancy of their bodies and their gears.
Types of Buoyancy
There are three types of Buoyancies you need to be aware of 
1. Positive Buoyancy
2. Negative Buoyancy
3. Neutral Buoyancy
You will need Positive Buoyancy on the surface, Negative Buoyancy to descend and once you 
reach the depth you desire you need Neutral Buoyancy to stay there, After again when you 
need to come back to the surface you need positive Buoyancy.
If you are new these types may look complicated for you but once you try this, it will be easy 
for you to understand and adapt. We hope now you got all the information about Buoyancy.
All the Scuba Gear Items we mentioned here are available in Divers Supply.
