Dive Computers and Accessories
Many of our guests coming to Panglao for an internship or Zero to Hero ask us, “What kind of gear do I need to bring or buy?” Of course, each diver needs a mask, snorkel, weight belt, fins, and wetsuit, but these are all included in the program. Unfortunately, dive computers are not available for rent.
Doing a beginner freediving course without a dive computer is fine. Even the level 2 freediving course without one is fine. But when you start the Level 3, AIDA 4, or Wave 3 course, you need to know what you are doing in the water. A proper dive computer tells you your dive times, depths, and speed and has several alarms and different types of notifications. A master freediver diving without a dive computer is diving blind.
There are many different types of dive computers. We recommend the Mares dive computer and, because of its unprecedented reliability, the Suunto D4I Novo.
