Ok, thanks for the advice guys. I'll reconsider and think over this... BTW, rjack321, you getting any snow out there? I miss Montana, I know my families getting snow dumped on them.... stupid northeast.
Yeah, I was thinking about going with a 55. I talked with my dive instructor and he suggested that I should get a 70. He said it would be a good wing to have once you start getting pony bottles and start brining deco bottles along with you. He mentioned it would be a wing that I would be able to...
OK, after spending much of the weekend looking around the net for scuba deals and not doing any homework, I've settled on some gear. I am going to go with a HammerHead SS plate, an Oxycheq wing 70# from GolemGear and Halcyon harness. All said, the total will be $423 plus shipping for everything...
Thanks for the info about Argon and lift also I appreciate it. TSand, thanks for the concern I appreciate it. yes I am thinking advanced but I like think through what i want to do now and then in the future also. Right now I'm just gonna start with doubles and start diving next month through the...
After looking through the different forums and such I keep coming across argon setups and am curious about them. From what I understand, Argon setups are used to insulate your dry suit. Is this correct?
Ok, some quick questions, I have two....
1. I am planning on buying a BP/W and for the...
As I've heard above, is the Halcyon webbing noticeably thinner that other webbing? I'm not sure if I would like webbing that is thinner, I would prefer to have the webbing be stiffer... BTW, thanks for all the advice and opinions guys. This is definitely helping me narrow down my options. I also...
After looking around for a bit, I am feeling that I will purchase everything separately. I am probably going to go with a Hammerhead SS Plate, and as for wing I am thinking about going with a horseshoe wing. I have been reading and heard they are more streamlined, any thoughts on this? I like...
I am unaware of who FredT is. I apologize if I am supposed to know...
Also, I want a doubles rig for sure, so no single rigs, and can someone tell me the pro's and con's or difference between the horseshoe vs. doughnut? I am aware of the different shape but beyond that don't know much about the...
So, I am planning on getting my first Hog setup and feel overwhelmed with the different brands to go with. There just seem to be so many. I have read many topics on here about hogs and BP/W's but still feel overwhelmed with the possibilities. I know for sure I do not want any quick releases...
You mentioned getting a STA. Just looking around real quick, is it something similar to this?

Wow, thanks for the advice guys. One more quick questions. If I do decide to go with BP/W I will not buy a BC. I will probably get a BP/W for doubles. Now if I wanted to do a nice easy rec dive, will I be ok with the BP/W and harness system if I have a BP/W for one tank? Will I still be able to...
Thanks a lot for the advice guys. I've been checking out all the article on BP/W on here and getting much more informed. One more question, if I decide to go with a BP/W for doubles, I doubt I will buy a BC, well I know I won't so..., if sometimes I just want to do a nice rec dive, if I buy a...
Real quick, I'm sorry to create some confusion, I haven't dove past 145 simply because I do not have a death wish with one tank and do not have the technical skills but I enjoy diving deep wrecks around 120 and would like to dive deeper. Honestly I don't know much about back plates and wings at...
Ok, before I start asking my questions I want to say that I have searched the forums and have read about this topic before...
I am soon going to purchase my first BC. Here's some quick physical stuff. I am 6'0", 185lbs with an athletic build, I'm a thrower in track so I'm not too big but...
Hello everyone, I want to just say that I love this forum and never imagined that such a wealth of knowledge could be found. This is a great community...
So I am am thinking about purchasing a Bare Plazma shorty wet suit 2mm and thought to ask the community their opinion on Bare wet suits...
I am considering two mares regulators and wanted your guys opinions on both. The Mares V-16 Proton (all metal) and the Mares MR22 Abyss. Can anyone give me some differences between the two and their recommendation? Also, as far as an octopus goes, would the Mares Proton Metal octopus be...
First off, I want to say I really enjoy reading all the posts on scuba board. You guys have so much knowledge and good advice. I am now asking for your guys advice and knowledge on the two BC's I have mentioned. (or others if you feel I could do better)
I'm in the middle of my AOW training...
