<human>: I'd like to know about the different types of scuba diving gear.
<bot>: The main types of scuba diving gear include a regulator, tank, buoyancy compensator (BC), fins, mask and snorkel, weight belt, dive computer, and wetsuit. A regulator is a device that allows you to breathe underwater. It is connected to your air tank, which provides the necessary oxygen supply. Tanks are designed to hold compressed gas, such as air or nitrox. Buoyancy compensators help divers stay at the desired depth by providing extra lift when they surface. Fins are used for propulsion and maneuvering underwater. Masks and snorkels provide the diver with an air supply while allowing them to see underwater. Weight belts are used to keep the diver's center of gravity low so they can remain neutrally buoyant in the water. Dive computers calculate remaining dive time and display other important information. Finally, wetsuits protect the diver from the cold temperature of the water.
