Hi Guys,
I would like your advice or just general hints and recommendations on the following equipment. Just to give a setting, I have dived for 4 years about 12 years ago and started training again 4 months ago. First dives are under my belt. I live in Belgium and will dive year around (so general cold water diving).
Scubapro Mk17-G250V (according to my lds scubapro is reissuing a version of the G250) or S600 as main regulator. (Not bought yet)
Scubapro MK16-R290 as secondary (bungeed) regulator (got a bargain on this one).
Pinnacle Artic 7mm suit (Merino lined whatever that means).
Pinnacle 5 mm vest with hood
SeaQuest Black Diamond BC (also tried a Scubapro Masterjacket, but the integrated weight and the fact that the blatter is on the back made me choose this one...already bought)
Have an old pair of Scubapro jetfins... the rubber straps are ruined after 12 year but thinking about replacing them with springstraps... other option is buying new Mares Quattros. (not sure yet)
Computer: Probably a wristmounted Suunto Vyper 2 (not bought yet... probably in May).
Other stuff: Suunto SK7 wristmounted compass, old scubapro depthmeter (had it recalibrated), divinglamp will have to wait until after summer.
I know that most divers have a sort of fetish with their equipment. Everybody will suggest other things... but just by posting this and reading reactions I'll learn alot about your experiences.
Thanks for your input!
