Need Info about Scuba Gear quality

[imran_tamimi]

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the benefits of higher quality scuba gear , how will i benefit if i wear a
1- ascended scuba flipper-will i swim faster?
2- Ascended Scuba Mask - See better or high visibility range underwater?
3- Ascended Tank - More oxygen?

Mainly higher durability and some what better insulation values.

So looks like not much benefit in looking for ascended scuba gear besides insulation which the primitive one aslo provides sufficiently?

Well the benefit of higher durability is that your stuff doesn't break while you're underwater and get bit by a shark once. The more durability the more hits you can take before you're stranded a mile below the surface with no way to get air.

If i am not wrong then the only piece to get is ascended scuba tank for more oxygen underwater...As just increased durability on other scuba parts without more armour is worthless? Correct me if i am wrong...But i get the point , Thanks for clearing it up :) 👍

Durability and armor are two separate values, armor lowers the damage you take from a shark bite. Durability increases the number of bites you take before your flippers/mask/pants break.
