Hello all,
New diver as of October 2017, got my OWD in Belize with my wife on our honeymoon. We both absolutely loved it.
Currently in process for developing further:
1. Building up our rigs
2. Deciding what training to do this spring to learn our new gear and build our skills.
3. Planning local dives in Early Summer to practice what we learn (Probably a lot of Lake Michigan since its very close and my wife is worried about close encounters with snapping turtles in the low-vis lakes we have. I've heard good things about diving for beginners in Pearl Lake, IL.)
4. Planning trips to Key Largo and Indonesia for Late Summer and Winter.
Open to Advice:
1. What environmental gear would be good for summer diving in Lake Michigan? (7mm wetsuit? hood?)
2. Best way to find air fills away from dive shops? (not ready to buy my own compressor, local paintball and FD's wont do liability.)
3. Best SSI classes for continuing education? We were thinking equipment techniques, perfect buoyancy, science of diving, and wreck diving to start?
Thanks in advance for the help I am sure we will get from this forum as we continue to learn!
