Worth doing Extended Range (TDI agency) to 55m on air, just for the experience. Also it gets you used to handling two stages at lesser depths without wasting money on helium as precursor to doing Trimix. Its a good combo.

Definitely not too old. Instructing is a hobby for most people. You have to have other strings to your bow to earn a living.

I recommend Tom Steiner at Gozo Technical Diving in Malta for sidemount tech and cave. In Mexico in the winter. He is at Tek Dive USA right now if you get a chance to meet him.

Well done! Great camera. About ten percent of the cost of your underwater set up....best to get a housing first in my experience.

Cressi travelight is good lightweight travel bcd. I have had two. And is Italian!

Got a pair of Scubapro jetfins or Apollo split fins XL if you want them in good nick. 50e plus post in Germany?

Its a thought but couldnt trust to get the sizing right. Am a bit further north than you in Germany. Is it sidemount/cave you want them for? I have the OMS Slipstreams which are neutrally buoyant and been happy with them.

Always factor in cost of service if you buy 2nd hand, unless you get a copy of receipt of service from dealer. Less than a year old from new is fine. Service every 2 years is also normally fine imo despite what dive shops will tell you. Aqualung regs breathe great at recreational depths and...

Only reason JJ gave up with BOV was because they couldnt get 100m CE with one. Dont believe me? Ask Dave Armstrong.

I don't really understand this thread. I have DIN valves but always take a small Scubapro adapter with me to convert to International if required. Else get a DIN insert to convert to DIN if you have International. I have done both in the past. Not difficult.

Oms slipstreams

Anything nice and light for travel by the brand names. Scubapro, Aqualung etc. Funnily these often breath better at shallower depths than the heavy duty deep water regs. If you buy used, which is fine, always factor in the cost of a service. You are normally better off with new and the warranty...

Anything below 10m you can forget it, stay close to your buddy.

You will get some good advice here but honestly dont worry too much, choose a reputable instructor and they will help you sort it out.

KISS looks pricey now I have to say.

Please forget backplate and wing for single tank diving in the UK unless you like having the the piss taken out of you. It's a pose. You can trim fine in pretty much any decent BCD. If you are serious about diving in the UK, you will really need a drysuit and something like a Buddy Commando bcd...

Cheers?

What complete idiotic crap

TDI Helitrox I believe

Aha, thats interesting..
