anyfeedback sftech suits or diverite 901?

I read, including on the web and on this forum, that SANTI started to have quality issues after there have grown over the last few years. It doesn't have to be made in the EU as long as it's good.

Looking to buy one and start submersion in tech. Would love something light with a front zipper and good quality/dollar value but can pay extra if it really makes a difference. I will be traveling mostly for my dives outside the country to Europe and Asia mostly. Tips suggestions all welcomed.

Nope

Now I guess I need to figure out can I dive Diverite unit in EU (skipping France)

The only reason I'm resisting is that I love sidemount and everything about it. Diving in Europe is only part of the deal, Asia is high on the list because it's warm. At this point, I'm not really interested in Baltic. Besides that, I really want a travel-friendly unit and both JJ and xccr...

So it looks like Sidewinder is not the droid I'm looking for after all. Regarding diving in France, I can skip it, I'm not sure what is the situation in the rest of the EU regarding none CE Rebreathers. If anyone is familiar with a subject please comment. Aside from CE certification anything...

Buying one around here is not a problem since there is DiveRite Dealer and I'll figure out how to find an instructor or I'll get a Triton. The reason why I considering Sidewinder because it would potentially allowed me to keep my sidemount configuration which I love and wouldn't take space on...

Looks like rebreather questions are a very touchy subject around here and thread exploded a bit. The thing I want something compact for travel and I love diving in sidemount configuration. I got used to it in Asia where getting a twinset could be a pain and I love the overall experience. For...

Guys, thanks for the feedback, if there is no way to prevent flooding with Sidewinder that's no fun and really offputting. Superflyte any chance you can answer my questions on Optima CM?

Totally forgot about Optima. The only thing I'm not super excited about it is that is eCCR I believe that's why I opted out from considering it but please feel free to change my mind if I'm wrong. What do you mean by saying it scooters and spear fishes like crap? If you don't mind me asking why...

I'm looking to get into tech diving and go straight to CCR that is travel friendly. These two units look like the right fit. Gonna be diving around Europe and a warmer climate, wrecks, deep dives but not a fan of caves. I currently dive in Xdeep tec with SUMP UK upgrades. What I would love...

can I get one too?

both links are broken

@rick00001967 DIN is the way to go for sure. That's an interesting observation about MK25 turret. I had S600, but my girlfriend, 2nd stage died, and I gave her mine. As for G260, I didn't find it to heavier in the water compared to S600, and I like the looks of it way more than S600. I guess...

I can get parts and service equally easily for both of them and I do have dealers in my area, but I will be mainly diving in Asia this year. As far as I know Scubapro is better presented there. @rick00001967 what are your thoughts on first stages? Is there any reason to go Apeks over SP?

I need to pick myself a set for my side-mount rig, and I am struggling between DST XTX50 vs MK25 G260, and I know the basic difference between piston and diaphragm 1st stages. Currently, I have MK25, and I will keep it for backmount. I have dived with both of these and, but I can't really say...

Thanks everyone, I am going with Xdeep Tec, cos I a can get it for a good price and I already ordered drings and other amazing stuff from Andy Goring

@happy-diver I'm getting some parts from Andy (buckle, loops, anchor), forgot to mention this. Regarding the rest, I figured it would make more sense to start with something more or less out of the box before going into custom webbing design. I will do it for sure but not with my first sidemount...

I've considered it but I am in Europe
