ianch saw the sea in a book once
essential accessories
After diving on rented gear for 2 years eventually took the plunge and bought my own wet suit, regs and bcd (I already had fins,mask etc). I mainly dive abroad so will always use dive school tank and weights but was wondering what safety gear/accessories I should look at buying. Any advice appreciated.
