Ahmed, in order to get a better explanation, you might want to post more context. In a way, Gallagy is correct. It could be tools, equipments ...etc. set or collection as Gallagy mentioned are general great terms. However to give you a very specific definition you need more context. What is the kit they are talking about? The mask, fins ...etc or just the manual? Or a boat or whatever, all these can affect the usage of words like (tools or equipments, supplies ..etc).

neutral	Yvonne Gallagher : M.A.B. gave dictionary ref. already for "kit" which can mean a lot of things depending on context. A "set of tools" is what a tradesman (carpenter/plumber etc) uses, not a diver or snorkeler. So, in this context "tools" would not be correct. 3 hrs

equipment needed for sport..e.g mask, fins, cylinder...

Is there something missing?A comma after "kit"? Or should it be "the ISDA kit"?

And which kit? The "kit" for snorkeling would normally be just mask, fins, snorkel. Is that all you need?
Or is it scuba diving? with regulator and cylinder see link below.

Anyway, the ISDA seems to be Italian so anything in English has been translated and some of the translations are quite bad. There are also quite a few typos just in these pages of their site.

neutral	Salam Alrawi : Dear Gallagy, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The definition that M.A.B gave support exactly what I said "a set of tools". It is written exactly that way at about mid page. I'm no expert but I am familiar with the word. 1 day 1 hr
	"tools" is incorrect in this context. The dictionary entry gives lots of meanings for "kit" but you picked the wrong one for this context.
