Hi everybody!
I got my OW in Aug. 2016, now up to Rescue Diver with Nitrox cert. and am up to 29 dives including trips to Cozumel and just recently returned from Belize. Hoping to double that number this year.
I mostly wanted to just say hello and introduce myself to the community here, however, I also have a question for you all: An individual in my dive group recently had some troubles with rental equipment which could have had some pretty devastating consequences had our DM's not been as vigilant as they were (running out of air due to faulty SPG on ascent from ~130ft in the Great Blue Hole). I knew I wanted my own equipment before, but now have decided that I need my own equipment.
Any general recommendations on Regs/BCDs/Computers (to a lesser extent wetsuits)? I've talked to my shop and will be researching more online tonight, but I thought I would ask the community here if there is anything that you would particularly recommend, or particularly recommend against?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to chatting with you all.
