Nooibe kit buying.

Hope you have a great dive let me know what you decide on as i'll be doing the same thing soon.

Well had a good day, 40 mins ( had plenty of air left so curious why we came in but enjoyed it)

Gear wise im only slightly better off.

Semi dry suit, Beaver Icelandic = Loved it so thats sorted.

Bcd tiguillo of some sorts, seemed to be ok but didnt get model.

Regs, Scubapro not sure which model but when i looked up my air was virtually cut off, NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL, in fairness martin said that he would never consider recommending or selling them to anyone as im pretty sure he said it wasnt balanced, he did again recommend APEX and SCUBAPRO (mk25 scubapro he says is fantastic) so again im back to APEX SCUBAPRO conundrum.
Definately want to get my own gear before summer ends, and id love to give LDS my business so i hope when i decide that they are competitive.

for some of the following

Beaver Icelandic semi dry.
APEX TX 40 or 50 or 100 ( maybe XTX ) or SCUBAPRO MK25 + S555

anyway had a good day and hopefully can get started on buyin my gear sooner rather than later.

OK settled, got a good deal as far i can see at LDS

settled for Scubapro Scotia, Scubapro mk25/s555, and a Tiguillo Seaborn bcd

my wife is getting the same apart from the semidry

she is stuck between scotia/icelandic and possibly scubapro everflex steamer with 5mm steamer shorty ontop. she tends to feel the cold alot more than me, actually its rare i feel the cold.

if anyone could give me opinions on these 3 before tomorrow when we finalise order id be very grateful.

Erm... drysuit, it'll save you money in the long run. I bought a semi dry, told everyone how good it was, 6 months later I bought a dry suit.

You can pick up cheap drysuits, I'd do it now rather than waste money now and then by the dry suit later.

dont want a dry suit danny.

will not be diving in the winter.

Beaver Icelandic is what our club buy every year. Great suit you can dive all year round. Gets very chilly in colder weather between dives, though. Fine in the water at just about any temperature. Don't get the one with the integral hood. Get the Ultra version.

Drysuits are for all year round....

But hey you can sell the semi on ebay along with the other 3,456,312 people that took that route...

Or if you insist on making the wrong choice (not a drysuit) then buy the semi from ebay so at least some other mug has lost the price difference rather than you.

Anyone for an air computer? (j/k)

i can guarantee my wife will not use a dry suit, as she wil only go in the summer ( which we've done already and found semis perfectly acceptable) and abroad , which weve done also.

just because you deem a drysuit the correct item doesnt mean others do or that they are stupid,or a mug !!!

so keep your smart arsed comments to your self.
