Our good friends are moving to Cebu thursday, he has never dived but bought all his gear. They have two houses there, wahooooooo!Diver Dennis:Where are you going in Asia? I'm headed back to the Philippines.
mulhalmoni:ok - wetsuit - I dive mostly exclusively in South East Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines) as well as in the red sea. Should I buy a shortie or a full length? What thickness would be a best bet for the places that I dive?
and finally - what brands are best? I am female ... does that make a difference?
rash guards/undershirts - i saw alot of these in the red sea - necessary? They are pretty useful for snorkelling i suppose.
mask - what fits, right? ok. good brands to recommend?
final question - flippers - what do we think about split fin? bad? again.. what feels good?
so - if i was to buy these items ... would that be a good starter kit? I don't really want to invest in vest right now or anything... i just want my own "close to my skin" gear.
i know this is a long shopping list of things to ask for help from .. but i just get lost when i start to look at stuff. And i have spent enough money on equipment lately that it makes sense to buy my own.
thanks in advance everyone!
