Dive
Accesories
You
can get various types and sizes. with
the typical collecting bag made from
mesh nylon, so it drains quickly, and
a wire frame to hold the top open or
closed. Most have a lock so they stay
shut.
When
you're using a collecting bag, keep
in mind that once it's full and heavy,
you carry it in one hand so you can
give it the heave-ho if necessary in
an emergency. Don't attach it to yourself
or your equipment. When you're not diving,
you can use a large collecting bag for
carrying your mask, fins and snorkel.
Besides
their usefulness for diving in the dark
at night, you'll find underwater lights
have uses in broad daylight. A compact
underwater light is useful for illuminating
and restoring color at depth (remember
that water absorbs color), as well as
for looking into dark cracks and crevices
(so you don't reach in without checking
whether anyone's home).
An
underwater light is both watertight
and pressure-proof; you can take an
ordinary flashlight.
