Coming up in August I will be travelling to Maui/Kona for the family vacation. I currently dive a Zeagle Stiletto BC. The intent was for a BC light enough for travel yet still has enough lift for cold water diving with 7 mm wetsuit. My fins are Atomic splits (not starting blade v spit discussion) and are a little heavy. Still using rental reg mainly because my LDS uses Atomic Z's as their rental reg and have not had the inclination spend a big wad $$ just yet.
I've been noticing a number of posters responding that they have separate gear for both travel and local diving. At what point did you decide to go out and buy a brand new BC for example to travel on vacation? I'm sticking with my current gear and not changing my BC or fins. I will get an inexpensive 3 mm wetsuit since I plan on doing fair number dives with my daughter and it is cheaper and more hygienic go have my own. I might also decide to splurge on a reg before next vacation once the taxes are paid .
Just curious at what point does the decision come in "I need a new 'x' to go on vacation?
