Hello to all ! I posted yesterday in the General Equipment forum asking about equipment, preferences, other divers setups and recommendations and it was suggested that I post over here. First maybe I should regress a little. I am a TOTAL newbie...as in I have been certified for a whole 2 days now. I am trying to gather as much information on equipment and setup's as I can to allow for an educated decision. As a newbie I understand that I know only the smallest part about wreck diving and it takes allot of training, experience and common sense to get to a high level and I am at the very beginning of this new found obsession and I don't have a death wish. I want to pursue the path that leads to diving wrecks and put the time in to earn the right but I would like to minimize purchases that I will later figure out were bad. I will dive shallow reefs with the wife and friends but I want my equipment to lend itself toward diving wrecks because when I think of diving in my minds eye the water is a deep blue. Is it possible to have equipment that can cross over to both sides of diving? I realize that this is a very open ended request but as I said I am in the information gathering stage and I need to not only know about equipment but also training (being from the Midwest not allot of wrecks to dive) locations and recommendations.
Thanks in advance
