New Diver in Montana

[Guitarcrazy]

Hello from Montana. I just returned from a trip to Playa del Carmen where my wife and I became certified in Open Water. It was a great trip, with 4 dives in Cenotes and two in Cozumel, 1 on Santa Rosa wall and one at Chankanaab. Looking forward to diving again soon. Looking forward to learning and growing more with this fun sport.

Thanks everyone. There is some diving in Holter Lake Reservoir, which is 300 feet deep in spots. I don't think it is anything too exciting though. I am looking at gear now. Hard to know what is decent stuff, and what is best avoided. Anyone know if this is worth having? https://www.amazon.com/Divers-Suppl...g=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CE6ZSTGJA8YHW7BVG03K&th=1
Thanks. J

That sure is a comprehensive package for a very reasonable price. But I can't speak to the quality of the merchandise. I'm sure the BCD is fine, but I'd check into the regulator carefully for reviews...that's something you want to get right.
