It is mandatory to get the correct dive gear if one is to safely enjoy the sport. It would be very dangerous and exasperating if you were to get the wrong equipment; for example, if you were to go diving with a scuba mask that has a leakage and keeps irritating you. It is advisable that you take the necessary precautions when choosing your gear, to enable you enjoy your underwater sightseeing experience to the maximum.

The scuba mask enables you to see clearly underwater. It does this by creating an airspace. When diving at depths greater than 10 feet, the airspace created by the mask must be brought to equilibrium otherwise it might crash your face. This is why a scuba diving mask is made to enclose your nose such that your breathing will be used to equalize the airspace. As such, open masks that do not have an enclosure for the nose can only be used for snorkeling and not for diving.

The main features of a scuba diving mask include: a faceplate or lenses, a comfortable skirt and a head strap. Each manufacturer will model these 3 features into various styles and shapes ranging from oval shaped models to low internal volume masks. Besides the design, scuba masks, just like scuba diving fins, scuba tanks or scuba wet suits differ depending on the material they are made from. Divings masks are either made from Neoprene or silicone material. Masks made from Neoprene rubber are usually black in color and whereas those made from silicone are translucent. Neoprene masks have the advantage of being cheaper than silicone masks. Neoprene masks do not allow light in from the sides. As such they are more suited for snorkeling since they keep away reflection of the light that may hinder your visibility when snorkeling. Silicone masks on the other hand are more durable and much more comfortable to wear hence are more suitable for scuba diving.

The following features are worth considering when buying a scuba mask.

• The mask’s field of vision should be wide to allow you greater visibility underwater.
• The mask should provide a good seal and comfortable skirting with a close fit against your face.
• The mask should be made of tempered glass lenses – This ensures additional safety since in the event they were to break, the glass is less likely to shatter in fine small pieces.
• The mask should have nose pockets enabling you to equalize during descents.
• An adjustable strap with an inbuilt lock mechanism. Stay away from masks that have a fused strap.

Bug diving as it is most notably referred to with scuba divers are what non divers call lobster diving. Lobster diving is a fun and adventurous way to catch everyone’s crustaceans. Lobster diving is more than just catching a sea food, you have fun and burn calories for your big meal to come.

The most popular of all the dive locations for lobster is out East where scuba divers try for the infamous Maine Lobster. The other 2 places were divers take their scuba gear is to the Florida Keys and California where they both have variations of the Spiny Lobster. Where ever you may want to go and submerge for your lobster you will need to check to make sure it is lobster season. You can do this by checking with the local fish and game authorities.

The nice thing about bug diving is that there isn’t very much special diving equipment that is required other than some good gloves and a collection bag. The nicest piece of equipment are scuba masks with underwater lights on them so you

can see into dark holes. The most common place for lobsters are in holes next to wrecks, caverns, and reefs.

The best trick to getting a lobster out of their hole is to simply put a smaller lobster in the hole and being that lobsters are territorial they will both come out in a hurry.

Being a scuba diver you want to get the proper scuba wetsuit for this, you never want to have your arms exposed when reaching in a dark lobster hole. And just to make sure you have lots of lobster for the days to come make sure you take more than one scuba tank.

Oh, also. . . be aware that lobster holes also house eels. . .and vice versa!
