A wetsuit is one of the most expensive and important pieces of equipment for a diver. It keeps you warm, protects your skin from scratches, and affects how comfortable you feel throughout your dive. Neoprene doesn’t last forever: salt, chlorine, sun, and improper storage gradually harden it, and the suit […]
A fogged-up diving mask is one of the most common problems faced by both beginners and experienced divers. When there is a layer of moisture on the glass, you can't see the underwater world, your dive partner, or your computer readings. The good news: mask fogging can almost always be […]
A drysuit allows you to dive in the Baltic Sea, lakes and under ice all year round, but only if it stays dry. The two parts it depends on the most are the waterproof zipper and the neck and arm seals (cuffs). They are also the most expensive and […]
The buoyancy compensator (BCD or jacket) is a piece of equipment that many divers just rinse off the outside and hang to dry after a dive. However, the most important part is inside: the air bag, the filling valve and the exhaust valves. That’s where salt, chlorine and sand stay. Over time […]

Their unique design combines the excellent handling characteristics of a deep V-shaped hull in waves with the inflatable […]

Suddenly, breathing becomes harder – it seems that you have to forcefully draw in air. Or vice versa – the regulator starts to “flow” uncontrollably […]
Suunto's technological evolution and the specifics of Baltic diving Historically, the Finnish manufacturer Suunto was known for its conservative, proprietary RGBM algorithms, which often caused discussions among active divers due to the inflexibility of the devices and sudden locking after relatively small ascent rate violations. However […]
