Sukelluslaitteistossa

Sukelluslaitteistossa refers to the equipment used for diving. This encompasses a range of gear designed to allow humans to breathe and function underwater. The most fundamental piece is the diving regulator, which reduces the high pressure of the air in a scuba tank to a breathable level. Attached to the regulator is the mouthpiece, allowing the diver to inhale the air.

Scuba tanks, filled with compressed air or special gas mixtures, provide the breathing gas supply. These tanks are typically made of aluminum or steel and are worn on the diver's back, secured by a harness. Buoyancy control devices (BCD) are also crucial. These vests can be inflated or deflated to control the diver's buoyancy, allowing them to ascend, descend, or remain neutrally buoyant at a desired depth.

Other essential components include a dive mask, which creates an air pocket for clear vision underwater by equalizing pressure on the diver's face. Fins are worn on the feet to provide propulsion through the water. A wetsuit or drysuit is used for thermal insulation, protecting the diver from cold water. Dive computers are increasingly common, monitoring depth, dive time, and ascent rate to ensure safe diving practices. Finally, submersible pressure gauges and depth gauges are often incorporated to monitor air supply and depth. The combination of these elements forms the complete sukelluslaitteistossa, enabling underwater exploration and activity.
