Scuba tanks, compressor, weights, and belts are available on board, but you will need to bring your own personal gear. (Find details at our polar diving page.) Only bring equipment you are familiar with and have thoroughly tested in the water. The polar regions are not the place to test out new equipment. Please make sure you have done at least 4 or 5 dives with your new equipment. This will allow you to fine-tune your buoyancy and trim characteristics and note how much weight you will need when diving.
