Howdy,
I'm mainly a scuba diver, but I will be attending the Performance Freediving Intermediate course shortly, and wanted to figure out how much I should set aside for a free diving suit/fins/mask/weights, and what brands are recommended?
PFD has this page: Gear Recommendations « Performance Freediving International which seems quite comprehensive, but doesn't give out any approximate pricing information. Is it worth buying a specific freediving 3mm suit, or can one just re-use a scuba 3mm wetsuit? If its best to buy a separate suit, how much would this set one back, for a decent 3mm? I'm thinking about going with the Oceaner Rec 45 for the suit, but have no idea what a good reputable place to buy it online is, and/or how much it'd end up costing? Any ideas? Should I look into different brands? Anything bad about the rec 45?
For fins, I'm planning on going with a composite fin, which brands would you recommend? What sort of price range should I expect it to be? Same questions with the mask.
Thanks!
