The essentials include:

• Bates 922/924 boots - You are allowed to bring you own pair to BUDS/SWCC, so buy as many pairs as you can in advance and get them broken in NOW!!
   

• Fins - There are several different types of fins you may use: Duckfeet, US Diver's Rocket Fins, Scubapro Jet Fins or IDI Power Fins.  Fins can also be found at www.ebay.com.
   

• Neoprene booties or socks to go along with the fins.  Booties have a rubber sole that is useful for walking in or near water lines with rocks, but can be difficult to work with fins that are a size too small.  Water socks aren't great for walking around in, but slide into fins nicely.
   

• Full face diving mask.  Get rid of the eyes-only swim goggles.  At BUD/S, you will swim with a mask or nothing.  It does alter your breathing a bit; best to practice now.
   

• Webbing straps for drown-proofing practice (ideally 3/4" to 1" width by 30-40" long)
  CAUTION:  SWIM WITH BUDDY WHEN BOUND BY STRAPS
