Really, when I see pictures of them they just look so huge. Is it you're used to it now, or even your first dive with it on you barely knew it was there?In fact you do not really notice a 30cuf sling,
I was thinking to sling a 13, same basic idea just smaller. You're right that I will probably grow to those depths pretty quickly, but if days I knew I was only going to 60 feet, 30 cf is really overboard (although if you honestly don't really notice it, it may not matter).I'm not sure how you want to put your 13 cuf bottle, most likely to the main tank so you will need to get the kit to connect it. I bought 30 cuf right away. You will most likely grow to those depths faster than you think.Why spend money again.
I lucked out so much in timing when I bought my BCD and reg. I was going to buy a package with crappier equipment, but then saw they were having a clearance sale on the old Ranger LTD models, grabbed one right away. Then a month or two later I was looking at regs, I was basically set on the cheaper 50D, but then all of a sudden I noticed the Flatheads dropped to $400, and grabbed one of those right away (surprisingly, the regs didn't sell out like the BCDs since you can still get the 6s)yes I found 375 bucks for a reg like FH VI is pretty nice. I bought my first one for 500 off season (in winter) a year and a half ago. They were going higher during season times as far as I remember.
