ok i'm nearly there, going to place my order today or tomorrow, i'll be doing most of my diving in ontario and british columbia, final questions:
1- i'm buying a standard spg/depth/compass on a retractor ($90) until i have enough money for an air integrated wrist computer.. but i keep reading about all these retractors in the 'gear regrets' thread.. i don't like having my console hanging loose, and if its clipped to my bcd its farrrr too much of a pain to clip and unclip to read or use it (especially) the compass.. the retractor sounded like a perfect idea, why do they suck? whats the better alternative?
2- how do you guys mount your compass? i'm trying to decide if i should go with a wrist mounted compass and 2 gauge console or 2 gauge console w/compass.
3- din or yoke? i chose yoke
4- dive light for recreational night diving, my -only- choices are UK D4, D8, C4 eled, C8 eled. all are pistol grip except D8 which has the handle on top.
thanks!
