Hey there,
This is my first post - so please forgive me if I miss some form of etiquette ;-)
I am very new to scuba diving (in fact, I still have to complete my open water tests before I can claim to be certified). I am planning on purchasing my gear but my local dive shop suggested that I wait until after my open water...thoughts?
Also, I live in Canada (near the Rocky Mountains) so the majority of my diving will be in pretty darned cold water...that being said, though, my fiance and I plan to do at least one warm water trip each year, and this September will be heading to the Mediterranian Sea to try our hand at diving.
What is a good regulator for cold water and warm water that is lightweight and helps reduce dry mouth? Also, if we are traveling to Europe (specifically Spain), are they mostly on DIN valves (so would have to rent) or do they mostly use yolk (so I could bring my own)?
Thanks in advance for the info!
