Bring your regular kit
Use the mask, fins, BCD and regulator you know; small changes in gear alter trim and add complexity.
Hydrate and avoid heavy meals
Proper hydration and a light stomach improve comfort and buoyancy control during drills.
Practice breath control on land
Work on slow, diaphragmatic breathing before the session to shorten learning curves underwater.
Log your changes
Note weight and trim adjustments after each drill so you can replicate what worked on subsequent dives.
Mask & snorkel
A well-fitting mask prevents leaks and lets you focus on delicate breathing and fin technique.
Wetsuit (3–5mm) or exposure protection
Thermal protection keeps you comfortable during repetitive drills in controlled water.
Weight system and belt
Accurate weighting is crucial to achieving neutral buoyancy and fine trim adjustments.
Dive computer or depth gauge
Tracks depth changes during ascent/descent drills and helps measure consistent profiles.
