It is also important to have in mind that free diving wetsuits should fit diver in order to work well and give him proper thermal protection. If a free diving wetsuit is loose or too tight it would not give protection it should and it could even become a problem since it could be an obstacle to diver's movements. There also are recommendations on how to maintain and store your wetsuit. In order to store it properly while you are not using it, you should hang your wetsuit up avoiding folding it since that could damage it. Besides this, you should make sure to wash suit after using it and make sure to wash all salty water off from it.

Any sea related sport requires a compass as an important piece of equipment. It is fundamental for navigators to use compasses and consult them, and actually they could not practice their activity without information which these devices provide. Actually, a compass turns into a safety device due to importance of help it gives for those who consult it while being at sea, whether they are navigating, diving, or practicing any other related activity. It is very easy to get lost while being at sea, and having a compass might be only way to learn where we are and in which direction we should move. When all we have around us is sea and it looks all alike, there might be no way for us to know where we should go. Therefore, having a magnetic compass and learning how to properly follow its indications is vital for all divers.
