hello,
I'm a new diver and looking into buying all my gear. At this moment I've got a rough idea of what I want although some questions are still unanswered. I hope you guys and girls can help me.
I'm think I will want to go into the tec part of diving when the time is right. Because of this I think it's wisest to go for a setup which will work for tec diving and open water diving. Is it smart to invest more money right now and go for the more expensive gear now (which I might not use to it's fullest potential) so I don't need to upgrade in the future. If so then I'm thinking about going for the following setup.
7 mm wetsuit, probably a bare, gloves, shoes and hood
Regulator: Apeks ATX 200 1. & 2. Stage with an ATX40 Octo
or will the ATX100 with a ATX20 Octo do fine?
For a wing + bp setup:
Halcyon Pioneerwing 36 , since I will start with single tank diving.
Computer, wrist mounted:
Suunto Vyper wrist or shall I go for the Vytec?
SPG:
uwatec Mineral SPG
Compass:
Suunto- Compass SK
On Fins, lamps I've not decided yet. So I hope you can give me some pointers on these pieces of equipment
Will this setup be overkill for a new diver (12 logged dives)?
any comments are more then welcome
thanks.
