Hello everyone, my name is Kyle. My fiancee and I have been planning on getting OW certified for the past year or so and are finally getting around to doing it. We are planning on visiting the GBR on our honeymoon, March 2014, and possibly doing some dives in Fiji. Other than that, most of our friends are certified and we are talking about doing some dive trips to Cali and Mexico next year.
I've been lurking here for around six months and have learned a lot, but figured it was about time to sign up and join the discussion. The difficulty I have is that I am 6'9" and wear size 15 shoes, this creates an issue with trying to rent equipment or borrowing from friends, so I am unable to try some equipment out prior to buying. So far, my biggest challenge is finding a place to try boots on. Other than that, it has been fairly overwhelming trying to determine the equipment I need, but this site has helped a lot.
