Let me answer you with the following poem;
In days of old when divers got cold,
and before Drysuits were invented,
The best latrine was neoprene,
ESPECIALLY if it was RENTED...............................

cool yeah i was leaning on getting my regs first but i dove in my friends dive rite back wing type inflated bc and that thing was awesome it fit so much better than the rentals i m use too. but yeah i know im getting a zeagle and its not the same as a dive rite but it opened my eyes. another question is how do you know if your ascending too fast with out a comp?
Bruce3:
An old rule of thumb is to go up no faster than your bubbles.
Consider that you are looking for no faster than 2 feet per second. If you can just creep the needle so you know you are doing no more than a foot in 2 seconds (or 10 feet in 20 seconds) you are good. Remember that a slower ascent will have you feeling better apres dive so just take it slow using some of the mentioned limits. It's a time homored technique.

Get a wet suit first. So you don't have to use ones others have peed in.
Read this board for 1 year
Get a regulator so you don't have to put your mouth on what other people did.
Then once you've figured out that all along you really want a back plate wing BCD, get one.
About this time you should have enough dives where you 1) know the dive tables and use them and can understand if there is a problem with a computer 2) really have enough dive time that you arn't breathing your tank dry before being close the going beyond the rec. dive tables. Then get a computer for the fun of it.

Bruce3:
Why are you buying a Zeagle when you like your friend's Dive Rite? The Dive Rite is more streamlined. If you find something you really like and feel comfortable with then buy it.
