Bob: I have been eyeing up some pretty sweet computers. Guess my ROI would be enjoyment
Colo: Fresh perspective, and good point. Probably should look at getting some dives under my belt. I do have to say, buying that Impulse 3 was the best decision so far in my gear. It makes clearing the snorkel so much easier than my previous rig.
and in 100/200/300 dives that Impulse 3 will probably not be attached to your mask for most dives .
My point being, at this point in your dive career you do not know what you do not know.
As a couple examples:
For dive computer, will you be diving Enriched air or regular air? Will you want to go tech and be diving trimix using mutiple mixes doing deco on 100% O2 ? or ??? how much do you want to reply on a computer? do you want air integrated or not?
For a BCD - do you want a vest BCD or a back wing & plate, will you be diving doubles in the future?, how about side mount?, or carry a bale out ?
