Essential Safety Gear for Scuba Diving


Michael Riglietti is a respected presence in the New York contracting sphere who has taken on numerous electrical system installation projects. An avid boater and scuba diver, Michael Riglietti is active with the Divers Alert Network, which promotes safe diving practices and provides access to next generation safety items. 

Among the essential safety accessories for divers is an underwater compass, which ensures accurate direction determination, even if digital systems fail. As surfacing down-current from the dive boat is always a possibility, it's also wise to carry along surface signaling devices including a tall inflatable signal tube, emergency whistle, and a signaling mirror.

At the same time, carry along a sturdy pocket light as a backup to the primary light if night diving or when entering waters that are murky or crevice filled. Also consider investing in a GPS rescue signaling device. Equipment such as the Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS floats and can withstand depths of more than 400 feet. Once activated, it sends the diver's position to any boats in the vicinity for emergency pick up.
