hey everyone
After another long absence, I'm back! Well, at least for a few minutes...
So, I moved to NJ from Ohio a few months ago, and I'm looking forward to trying to get some more advanced training and such so I can get in some local diving (once I have some finances, at least). I get the basic impression that NJ diving is essentially of the tech/DIR school, drysuits, doubles, and bp/w setups, and I'm resigned to the fact that I'll probably want to invest in a bp/w at some point. So my questions are:
1) Assuming a drysuit, what kind of lift should I be looking at?
2) Are doubles necessary for diving around here, or can I get away with a single? I have my trusty old AL90 (not a typo, I don't think) which was fine for quarry diving back in Ohio. Obviously single or double would dictate what type of wing I should be looking for.
Anywho, let me know what you think, and thanks for the help!
cheers
