## How to Assemble Scuba Diving Gear
Scuba diving is an exhilarating and rewarding experience that allows you to explore the underwater world. To enjoy scuba diving safely, it is essential to have the proper gear and to know how to assemble it correctly.
### Before You Begin
Before you start assembling your scuba diving gear, it is important to make sure that you have all of the necessary components. This includes:

**Step 3: Put on the mask.**
Put on the mask and adjust the strap so that it is comfortable. The mask should fit snugly but not too tightly.
