Yesterday I went to a seminar put on at my LDS by the ScubaPro regional rep. It was very interesting and educational. After the seminar I went on a shopping spree for my basic gear. First let me start by saying this. I brought my gear in for my instructor to inspect to see if any of it was still useful. Weeeeeeeellllllll...as you are probably already thinking the answer to that was a resounding NO!!! LOL!!! Devon pulled my mask and snorkel out of my gear bag and the snorkel promptly fell into two pieces hanging by a thread of rubber...LOL. We moved on to my mask which I had bought like 30 years ago or something. It is a Tekna brand. Strangely enough, my facial features must have changed or something - hmmmm go figure - because there was no way in the deep blue that the mask was going to seal. As for my fins, well let's just say, there must be a Tek diver out there that would be interested in them. So I took a tour thru the store and picked out some new gear. I got a $50 discount plus 10% off for attending the seminar so I got some good prices. I started off with a new mask, the ScubaPro Spectra Mini with snorkel , compared to the Spectra itself I found that I had basically the same field of vision but it was not ORANGE!!! LOL!!! Then I picked out gloves and boots. I picked out Aqua Lungs Aleutian Kevlar gloves and a pair of ScubaPro boots with the thicker soles. Last but not least, for fins I picked out ScubaPro's Seawing Nova. I know a lot of people like splits but I wanted to give the Nova's a try. I figure at some point I will give the splits a try and have two pair of fins to choose from. Nothing wronf with that right...:cool2: Here is a quick shot of the gear I picked up. I will add more pic's as time goes on. Now just if the next month and a half would zip by so I can get my cert class going. Happy diving to all!!!
