With a great vision in mind, Divers Supply was started in 1977 as a small operation in Macon, GA. Now if you know anything about Macon, it is not what anyone would consider to be a "prime location" for scuba diving, with only a few lakes and quarries in the area. Nevertheless, the "dive shop" was opened off exit 5, I-475 in Macon, Georgia. With our tremendous SCUBA training programs, dive travel, and great diving equipment deals we have been able to grow the "dive shop" into a 35,000 square foot store with a full training facility and indoor heated pool.

First Time Scuba?
If you are planning to Scuba Dive for the first time you can go with a combo or a bundle pack because analyzing and purchasing all these products individually will take a lot of time. Also if you buy each one separately the cost will be on the higher side. Most of you might know mostly all the products here, but if you are new to Scuba Diving you might not be familiar with the term BCD. So let us explain what BCD is in detail for your better understanding.
BCD & BC
BCD stands for Buoyancy Control Device and BC stands for Buoyancy Compensator. These devices work using an Inflatable Air Bladder and Weight Pockets. Well first of all let’s understand about Buoyancy, Buoyancy means the ability or tendency to float in water or any other fluids.
Buoyancy
Let’s relate it to diving. When a swimmer tries to dive into the bottom of a pool or sea it will take more effort for the swimmer wherever he is swimming. If you are planning to become a Diver you must know how to Float, Hover and Sink in water. This is the place where BCD will come in handy for you. If you see professional Scuba Divers they will often be seen wearing lead weights to counteract the positive buoyancy of their bodies and their gears.
Types of Buoyancy
There are three types of Buoyancies you need to be aware of 1. Positive Buoyancy 2. Negative Buoyancy 3. Neutral Buoyancy You will need Positive Buoyancy on the surface, Negative Buoyancy to descend and once you reach the depth you desire you need Neutral Buoyancy to stay there, After again when you need to come back to the surface you need positive Buoyancy. If you are new these types may look complicated for you but once you try this, it will be easy for you to understand and adapt. We hope now you got all the information about Buoyancy. All the Scuba Gear Items we mentioned here are available in Divers Supply.
