Hi all! I'm a new diver, PADI certified last September. I'm originally from California, but I presently live in Kofu, Yamanashi, Japan. I got my certification in Izu, Japan. I'm now faced with the bewildering task of figuring out what gear I want to buy, in an unbelievably expensive country where I still can't communicate very well and can't read the dive mags! This forum seems to be just what I've been looking for. I went gear shopping in Tokyo recently and the prices for everything were so completely over the top, I'm still reeling.... The people at my diving school are very nice and great fun to dive with, but their gear selection is limited and their prices are pretty crazy. Soooo.... the hunt begins!
