Scuba diving equipment, also known as scuba gear, is the equipment used by a scuba diver for the purpose of diving, and includes the breathing apparatus, diving suit, buoyancy control and weighting systems, fins for mobility, mask for improving underwater vision, and a variety of safety equipment and other accessories.

Prior to 2006 scuba diving was greatly restricted in Greek waters the fear being that the sea floor was teaming with rare and unique antiquities of great value that easily could be grasped and smuggled for sale to dubious “art” dealers.

Death. In October 2002, Mestre died in an early attempt to break the 160 meters NLT (No Limit) free-diving AIDA International's world record that Tanya Streeter had established a few weeks before on August 17, 2002 (at that time this was both men and women's official AIDA record).
