| Shallow dive equipment
I am fortunate in the sense I live near the sea and have access to a good part of the coastline. My mrs yesterday suggested that we could do some diving off the shores independently.
Some areas I will place off limits due to currents but there are some nice bays to explore. The diving would really be 'deep snorkels' and less than 10m. We were thinking of setting up a 'dive light' equipment. Basically not too carry heavier than neccesary equipment. The main change we thought was to get 7l cylinders each. I reckon this is enough for shallow short dives. Now do I have a screw missing in my brain or should we stick to the 12's. Are 10's another option? I thought with the 7's I could also use them as ponies for the other deepr dives, but would this be too big as a pony?
I have a Buddy Commando which is good and tough but large. I thought also of getting a lighter simpler BCD, any suggestion for that?
