Hellohello ,
I'm jus' starting my cert classes, but I've been lurking here at SB for some 6mos. or so. I'm looking for some suggestions for a buy-it-one-time, do-it-all BC. Something that I can dive single-tank recreationally, but then still have the potential to do doubles and tech/wreck diving a few years from now when I feel I'm ready for it.
I dont mind paying a little more if it means I only have to buy it Once.
I understand that I may still need to buy an additional, 2-tank wing at some future date , but that seems unavoidable and a relatively small expense vs. buying a complete new rig.
When I first started looking on here (SB) I thought perhaps a Seaquest Balance... but now I'm looking at a few diff "tech" rigs... AL's Apeks rig, Hollis, perhaps one of the comfy-looking Transpacs (with pads and "rec-looking" stuff).
I'm fairly certain that my BC will be THE biggest purchase I make initially as I'm leaning towards the Titan LX Supreme reg-wise (reasonably priced), I'm thinking of a budget of $500-$700 for a complete rig ( + any add ons, pouches, etc.)
If you were to Buy it Once , and not rule out any particular Kind of diving, which BC would YOU buy to get the Most for your Diving Dollar ? ? ?
thx,
M
