Hello. Thanks for taking a question from a newbie diver. This is the absolute best forum for getting meaningful respectful answers that I have ever been associated with. That includes my other hobbies of photography, MTB, backpacking and chainsaw restorations.
I have decided to purchase all my gear because a lot of my diving will be 30 minutes north of me and the nearest dive shop is three hours away. I already have the basics (including a computer), but I'm now looking at regulator, BC and exposure suits. I've pretty much decided on DGX D6 BP/W for a BC and I'm leaning toward Mako Spearguns for a wetsuit. But I'm open to thoughts about these before purchasing.
I'd like to purchase regulator/octo at a dive shop to take advantage of their expertise in servicing the reg. But with my living in a remote area, I think I need to learn to do my own service. So I need a reg that would be less complicated to service and would have good parts availability. I would be diving in cold water and with some silt/sediment, so a sealed unit would be preferable. Your would be appreciated. Thanks again!
