Hi to everyone! I read through this whole section of the forum but I couldn't find any advice regarding USED gear. So I'm here to ask for your help and I TIA those who will spare a few min to help me!
I'm a recreational diver (40 dives during the last 4 yrs' summer holidays) w/ AOW certification and deep, wreck & nitrox specializations. I usually dive at the tropics.
1) Is a 5 Kg limit enough to carry sufficient gear to avoid renting it on location? If the answer is yes, then the second quesiton is:
2) Which gear? Which brand & model?
I definitely only want gear which has well proven its validity . Although I don't have a budget limit I do not want to spend a fortune, given the sporadic use which I will make of it. So I would much rather buy used equipment of better grade/quality rather than middle of the range new gear. Even if this means waiting a long time to find the right items in good conditions: I am not in a hurry.
And if 5 Kg are really not enough for a diving gear set (and therefore there is no point to buy anything at all, as I would still need to rent the rest of the equipment), then is the idea to buy only a wrist computer a good one or not? Which model?
Again, thanks in advance for your time!
