    Tips for finding a good fitting mask

    Go to your local dive shop, don't ever buy a mask on line. Don't worry about brand, just go and try on as many masks as you can and get the one that fits you the best. I needed a new mask this year, and the cheapest one in the shop was the one that fit me the best.

    Suunto ZOOP 2 gauge console

    Good purchase. I had a Suunto Cobra 1 computer for over 25 years and it never failed me. I had to get a large colour screen computer so I could see it, so I gave the Suunto to my travel agent and she is still using it without fail.

    Dive Rite Travel Wing vs Hog 23lb

    I had a Dive Rite BP and Rec wing for quite a while before I got my Sub Gravity BP/W. Dive Rite makes good quality equipment and have been around for a long time. I don't have any experience with HOG though.

    Sorry, I miss read your post, I thought it said a HOG 32lb wing.

    Dive Rite Travel Wing vs Hog 23lb

    Personally, I wouldn't choose either. The Dive Rite wing requires a single tank adapter. The HOG wing has an integrated soft side single tank holder but the bungee cords on the wing are an entanglement hazard. I would look at the OMS Mono wing, it comes with a 27 or 32 lift, it has built in...

    good ways to add weight at shoulder level for BP/W?

    Sub Gravity makes weight pockets that attach to your back-plate. https://sub-gravity.com/product/backplate-trim-weight-pockets-pair/ as well as trim weight pockets that go on your cam straps. https://sub-gravity.com/product/trim-weight-pocket/

    Water leaks into mask because of nasolabial lines (next to nose)

    Do not use Petroleum jelly with your mask, it is petroleum based and will disintegrate the silicone skirt on your mask. Use silicone grease.

    Best First Pair of Boots?

    There's a size chart on their website, it's metric though. I got a size large and it fits a 8.5 to 9.5 US size. There are reviews on Amazon that refer to size also.

    Recommendations for compact camera for land and underwater

    I'm looking for a smart phone housing and was set on getting a Kraken. What do you think makes the Kraken more limiting than the Divevolk?

    Fins have used a pair of split fins and need something better

    I travel twice a year with my Mares Quattro's without any issues.

    Belize and/or Cozumel+Tulum

    Yes, most definitely! I just returned from Cozumel 2 weeks ago, the last visit was 14 years ago and probably won't go back. The diving was good but not wow. The dive sites are over run with divers and dive boats. I counted at least 20 dive boats at some dive sites. I'm in the minority, but it...

    Fins have used a pair of split fins and need something better

    Mares Avanti Quattros. They are arguably the best all around fin, they have been around for a very long time and are a straight forward no nonsense/no gimmick good fin.

    Two lake huron dives for inspiration!!!! And maybe a wreck diving book? Or great beginner scuba book?

    HOG makes decent gear. I would not get the 32lb bungee wing though, the bungee's are on the outside of the wing and are an entanglement hazard. HOG 32lb 360 Bungee Wing Black and Red. There's nothing saying you can't mix & match the components. You won't find a better bang for your buck than...

    Two lake huron dives for inspiration!!!! And maybe a wreck diving book? Or great beginner scuba book?

    Yes, too much wing is not a good thing.You won't put a lot of air in a bigger wing, so it will be floppy and will fold around your tank and trap air. You need a smaller narrow wing so it won't do that. Search through some of the posts in the Buoyancy Compensators (BC's) & Weight Systems section...
