Hi all,
I'm fairly new to diving and will soon be diving in Lake Pontchartrain to recover marine research equipment along the bottom. The lake is on average 15 feet deep just to give you an idea. I'm mainly concerned with what type of regulator to buy as I do not know which manufacturers are better than others. I was told to buy a sealed regulator so that debris does not get in the regulator since I will not be diving under the most pristine conditions. My choices are out of:1. Aqualung Conshelf 1st stage, Supreme 2nd stage; 2. Mares MR12 1st stage; 3. Seaquest Marine 1st stage, Octopus Mirage 2nd stage; 4. Titan 1st stage, US divers (Aqualung) 2nd stage; 5. Mares Beta 1st stage, Beta octo 2nd stage; 6. Tusa 1st stage; 7. Aqualung US divers 1st stage, Conself 2nd stage
Also, is there any additional equipment that I should look into like lights, gloves, etc, or any recommendations/advice for diving under these conditions?
Thanks,
