Greetings,
I recently got my OW certificate and I really want to continue diving. I leave in NY, so it is not so simple here, but I do not want to wait 4-6 month every year to get wet again. Right now, I am planning to go for a dive trips, and I want to get my own stuff. I rent the stuff for my class and for OW dives and I feel like I had better have my own. I visit a LDS here in the Brooklyn and find out that they are authorize dealers for ScubaPro, Uwatec and Cressi. I want to buy from them, rather then Internet to build relationships and have professionals who can service my equipment two blocks away from where I live. I rented Aqualung products and it was ok (it was not top of the line stuff), except BCD…I can take the Jacket-style BCD. I feel like an orange in the squeeze-machine, so I want a back inflated BCD. Now, here is the question I want to buy a good set of the hardware. I know, I know more expensive is better and you always get what you paid for. I agree with that, because IMO I am not making enough to buy a cheap stuff. However, I still want to hear about ScubaPro equipment, what would the best parts to buy? Conditions: temperature range from 20F to 110F, cold-to-freezing water temperature, I probably be doing some photography, wreck diving. May be in the future I’ll be doing ice diving. I am 6.1, 220 pounds. For now lets put price aside, I would like to get information for each peace of the equipment and most important why should I use that and not the other. Ohh, and I forgot to mention that I have Suunto D6 dive computer, so I probably just need the pressure monitor. Any comments will be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
