I've been diving every summer for 5 years now. We usually dive once, maybe twice a year, always in the Caribbean, mostly Cozumel, but this summer we're trying Curacao. I really want my own gear now, but really don't know what to do. I've been to the local dive shop and asked tons of questions. I just want to make sure I'm investing in the right stuff, especially when it's a lot of money.
I'm 6'4", 290, so I'm assuming a XXL BCD is right for me? I always use resort stuff and it's either an XL or XXL. Can I buy used or is it best to just go in and get fitted, then buy it there? Is there that much of a difference in sizes between manufacturers? If I only dive once or twice a year, how much should I be looking at investing, or does that matter?
I'm also needing my regulator and octo, as well as guages, maybe even a computer.
Any suggestions or advice as to where to look or what to get is very much appreciated!
