Hi all, I've just finished my sheltered water lessons for Ocean Diver, and I'm looking to purchase equipment to proceed to the open water lessons and complete my training. I am proposing to buy the following equipment:
Drysuit: Either Scubapro Spitzenberg or ND Divemaster (both crushed Neo)
Undersuit: Been recommended Bowstone...
Reg/DV/Octo: Apeks TX40/TX40
BCD: Buddy Commando TD
Fins: Mares Quattro (Everyone seems to recommend them!)
Computer: Suunto Vyper
Console: Suunto 3 Gauge
Am I going too overboard (no pun intended) having not jumped in the Ocean yet? I'll be doing most of my Open Water diving off North Wales/Anglesey... Any thoughts or views gratefully accepted - for example, scubapro and aqualung have been recommended as budget regs, but am i not better spending the extra few (100) pounds now and getting the Apeks?
Thanks all...
Justin.
