All BP/W systems are very modular not just Dive Rite I would go directly with a back-plate. You only need a 25 to 30lb wing for single tank diving, you can't use one wing for both single tank and doubles. The Dive Rite Voyager wing is too big for single tank diving and the bungee's on the wing...

I just returned from my 5th dive trip to Bayahibe. I did the Saona island tour (not a diving tour) with my wife and we did the Catalina island dive & snorkel tour with Scuba Fun. Catalina island is a lot closer to Bayahibe and the diving & snorkeling is a lot better.

Of course their customer service is good, they have had a lot of practice at it repairing or replacing their defective computers.

Most of which is totally unnecessary for a new open water diver. A Ratio iX3M 2 Pro is a lot better suited for a new OW diver and still has the option to upgrade the software to tech IF it becomes necessary.

I also highly recommend Nicolas & Martin from Cenote Xperience, I have been diving with Nico since 2011, great guys and excellent instructors. CenoteXperience - Cavern, Cave and Ocean Diving in Playa del Carmen Yucatan Mexico - Home

The Dive Rite Hydro Lite is a great BC and not advanced, It will serve you well for years. The only thing I might do is replace the bottom velcro tank strap with a proper cam strap the same as the top tank strap.

A modern computer is nice but isn't necessary. I dive a Suunto Cobra 1 that is 23 years old. It is still going strong and has never failed me or locked me out

Definitely make time for cenote diving, I have been to the mainland 7 times and have not done one ocean dive, only cenote dives. You can dive reefs anywhere. The cenotes are all over the Yucatan, but the best area to stay would be anywhere between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. The mainland is a...

Take a look at the Dive Rite Hydro Lite. Hydro Lite BCD - Dive Rite

Most all of my gear is Mares because my local dive shop is a dealer, but I don't care for their BC's either. My BC is a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum back-plate, 26 lb wing with adjustable harness.

If your not stuck on Aqua Lung, then I would recommend the Dive Rite Hydro Lite. Dive Rite is a well respected company that has been in business for a long time.

That's a lot of BC. Unless you take a size small that has 29 lbs of lift, the "wing" is way over sized. 42 lbs of lift is enough for a set of doubles. The clips that hold the "wing" from flopping around are a entanglement hazard. I would take a look at the Dive Rite Hydro Lite, it's a lot closer...

I love my Sub Gravity adjustable harness, it's clean, simple and no plastic parts. Adjustable Harness System - SubGravity

One size does not fit all. I have a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum BP & 26 lb wing for diving down south on vacation, which weighs 7lb's. For drysuit diving up here at home, it's a Sub gravity 6mm stainless BP which weights 10lb's on its own. The whole rig with a 37 lb wing weighs a little over 15...

These are the 2 masks I was referring to. X-Vision Ultra diving mask two lens | Mares ( I have this one) The Mid X vision doesn't have a Liquid skin skirt though. https://www.mares.com/en_CA/x-vision-mid-2-0-3

You cannot buy a mask based on someone else's recommendation, everybody's face is different. Try on as many masks as possible with your regulator in your mouth and buy the one that fits the best. It doesn't matter what brand it is or how much it costs. See if you can try a Mares mask, they have...

I put silicone grease on my mustache when I had it. Vaseline is petroleum based, so it will degrade the silicone skirt on your mask. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Trident-Silicone-Grease-2oz/106951867

Did you read the whole post? The OP was concerned about the on site dive shop not catering to experienced divers. "My concern is the dive experience itself. In the past, resorts boasting amazing diving ended up catering to infrequent divers, which isn't ideal for us. With over 1,000 dives under...

I just returned yesterday from diving with Scuba Fun.
