Hey all, I'm technically a new diver (well I start my class lessons on Feb.5th and my wife will take her lessons after I'm done) and I have a trip scheduled for St. Croix in April. My friends who we are going with go every year and normally stick with the Dive Experience store to do their dives with. I thought I read somewhere else that the Anchor Dive Center was better. Any truth to this?
Also, what equipment should I buy to get me started. I'm kinda in the phase that I don't want to go too over the top and crazy until I get a few dives under my belt and know that this will be a long lasting hobby/sport. So far I have a good mask, fins, snorkel, mouthpiece, boots, and wetsuit. Am I leaving anything out? Or is there anything else you suggest I buy before my trip. I'm trying to address this early enough that I'm not making last min purchases w/o doing any research first. Thanks in advance for your help. Even if it is just to point to another post on this board that already addresses this question.
