The mask creates a pocket of air around your eyes and nose, thus being an essential piece of equipment for your dive. It additionally helps in the equalizing the pressure felt on your ears during deeper dives. You will have to find the mask that is the perfect fit for you so that you will be comfortable as you make your way into the ocean.

Wetsuits are not waterproof, they allow a small amount of water to come between the suit and your skin, which gets heated by your body and keeps you warm. Dry suits, on the other hand, are made of waterproof fabric, and won't let any water in, ideal for colder waters. The gloves work like a wetsuit, keeping your hands warm, while also protecting them from any cuts and stretches you could get underwater.
