There's so much nice gear out there. Cyclone and Pug make sence. Read all you can! If you have an idea where you may be heading, deep, ice, salt water, fresh, all require fore thought, and the realization that this is keeping you alive! I will say this, and I try not to sway entry people as much as give them sincere advise when asked. I feel those second stage reg/deflator/inflator systems are dangerous. THINK, How do you manage an emergency ascent with your deflator being held to your mouth, holding your buddy, controling, or watching your ascent rate, as well as your buddys concerns. This is only my opinion. Get an additional second stage like your primary, and leave that inflator to do what it does best. You may have to depend on that additional second stage at depth. It would be nice if it performed as well as your primary. Do as you please with the rest of your choices, and excuse me for butting in. I do feel this is an important matter. I believe it's shameful the shops permote these like they do to entry people. I'm thinking of your saftey buddy! There were similar views with respect to shops giving solo diver certs, lots of debate! Be care ful, and have fun.......
