Hi All,
I've read through a fair few 'new divers' gear threads. Here is what I'm thinking of getting:
Regulators:
BCD - Zeagle Express Tech $260
Computer - Suunto Zoop Wrist Computer $250
Wetsuit - ?
Mask/Snorkel/Fins - Already own
Weights + Other misc - ?
I've got the above coming in at about $950, which doesn't leave any room really for the wetsuit, or anything else I'll need.
Can anyone help me out?
I'm a new diver (10 dives - learnt in Palau on honeymoon). Live in Perth, WA which has some reef and wreck diving quite close, along with the Ningaloo Reef up north. I can't see myself getting into 'Tech' diving as such, probably just an avid Rec. I can see wanting to dive at places while on holiday, but not a 'diving holiday' as such....yet.
When reading through threads, I resonate a lot with the people recommending the 'simple' over high tech bells and whistles type gear. I also like that the above listed gear is high quality, good brands, reasonable prices and expandable when I get deeper (pun) into diving more.
Please let me know if you need any more info from me. It would be handy knowing if stores like LP, DRIS etc ship to Australia and how much.
Thanks
Dee
