Hi all, I recently got my CMAS One Star certification, and I am (finally ) doing my first dives.
I am now looking into equipment, apart from the suit which I already have. Basically, regulator and jacket.
The first item I would like to buy is the regulator. I am looking either at the Scubapro MK17 or MK25, with the s600 as second stage. Most of the dives will take place in Italy (i.e. ater between 12/13 in the cold months, up to 22/24 during summer). MK17 certainly costs less, but I would like to spend the money on something reliable and that could last for years. At the same time, I am not sure whether a novice could grasp the differences between the two.
