Im looking to start diving wrecks this Spring summer in the Great lakes, including a trip to North Carolina in June.
I like some of the features of the Tech rigs, but since I have relatively new recreational style equipment, I'd just like to add some pieces, upgrade further down the road.
Is it all or nothing . Tech or Rec, but not both?
I have a DUI suit, Seaquest Balance BCD, Scubapro MK17/S600 regs, with a Cobra 2.
Id like to add a HP 120 with a new cold water reg and an H Valve. Good handheld primary light with solid back up.
I would not purchase a BP/Wing at this time, nor a canister light.
I think most of my dives this year will be in the 90-120 range,
BTW, I am taking an Intro To Tech NAUI course to understand some of the basic Tech diving/gear configurations, but at this point, with my somewhat new dive experience(40 + dives), biting the bullet for a decked our Tech rig is just a bit much to handle.
Comments or feedback appreciated.
I would get a pony bottle, rather than the H valve and then just dive the rig you have. If you are doing recreational dives 90 to 120 feet, the large steel tank and a pony bottle is fine. I always recommend that people spend ther money on DIVING rather than on dive gear.
Spend the summer doing those more advanced dives with the gear you have and after a dozen or so boat trips offshore, you will be much better prepared to make the choices that are corect for you.
Yu don't need anything special to dive 120 feet, but you should have some redundancy.
