I'm not enrolled in a DIR-F course yet because of work schedule conflicts, but plan to in the not so distant future. In the meantime I have the book and will be getting thoroughly familiar with it and thought I'ld get a head start by investing in some of the gear I'll be needing.
I'm not (yet) trained in the use of doubles so to start with I'm leaning towards the purchase of an Eclipse wing vs a Pioneer and not sure whether to get the 30# or 40#. The salesman at the LDS who is also DIR said that most start out with the 40# but find after diving with it awhile that the 30# is plenty.
I won't be buying any of the gear until I've talked it over with the instructor though, just to make absolutely sure I'm making the right choices. That said, I'ld like to get the opinions of the DIR divers on this board who have already gone thru this phase so I can learn from your experiences to assist me in making my decision.
Thanks...
