Got some new gear yesterday

[LowDrag]

Your going to like those gloves. I've bought several pairs of the aleutions, great for lobstering. I wear them until the water gets into the high 40's and then switch over to dry gloves. There's nothing wrong with having a pair of splits in the arsenal. I'm split down the middle on the split fin debate. There's pros and cons for each. I use both.

Awesome, I plan to use them for spear fishing and crabbing here on the Oregon/Washington coast. I bought them based on that because my dive instructor said he used them and they work great when grabbing crabs or something sharp.

I use those boots. Had them for a year now and they still work like the first day. Comfortable too. I love them. Nice gear. Fins are all about personal preference, and sometimes the environment you will be diving. I love my Aeris Velocity fins, but I am thinking if I do wrecks I might get me some split fins because they are shorter and do well with small kicks. Just an idea I am playing with. It's good you have people to talk to about gear options. I know the owner of my LDS will give me the pros and cons of all the gear I buy and helps me make choices based on the diving I like to do. Great people to talk to and I love all my equipment. Only thing I regret is my BC. I bought it during my checkout dives. I don't like the lack of pockets. Not a big deal in my dry suit, but a real pain when I dive wet and need to carry things like a backup light.

Try out some bolt snaps?

Getting new gear is always fun....

Yes, that is true. And not just for scuba diving.
I still remember how excited I was when I bought my sparkling new Ducati 1198S

.........What seemed like a great idea sometimes morphs into "What was I thinking?" ....

Yes, that is true. And not just for scuba diving.
"What was I thinking?" ... is exactly what I told myself during the helicopter ride to the hospital after I crashed my sparkling new Ducati 1198S

Yeah, just like as little gear dangling as possible. I am one of the minimalist divers. I prefer stuff tucked away in pockets and such. But yeah, snaps work in a pinch.

Loool, Im sorry, but this just made me laugh. I would love to buy a 797 Duc one day

Dude, good for you. Sounds like you had fun and I am not qualified to evaluate your purchase decisions, but Damn, those are some ugly looking fins

Dive safely my friend.

Whose fins are ugly??? I looked up the Aeris fins and thought they look pretty good so you must be talking about mine. How a pic of yours...hmmm??? Let's see what you dive with!!! :whack: LOL!!!

 

[Juardis]

Looks like you had fun! Although I'm kind of a paddle fin fan, I would MUCH rather see students in the Novas than in splits. I think you'll be pleased with your purchase, and they come with spring straps!

Can you tell me why?
