Critique My Gear

[GreenDiverDown]

Ok,
First off i went with the mares octo because honestly it was free and i figured since it is just my octo and will only be breathed off of under bad circumstances i can settle for an octo that doesn't breath the best in the world because well it was free

Most of your gear looks fine. I don't have any experience with those regs but you would be wise to re-think your priorites.

a good point, stephen. especially because, jacobi, *you're* the one who will be breathing off it in the long-hose world!

looks good, though.

I did think hard about cheaping out on it but i decided it was a risk i was comfortable taking and I actually just changed out the reg to the cressi sub air plus got it from scubatoys because they wouldn't be able to get me the scubapro one until march or april at the earliest so i decided to go the scubatoys route save money and have it hear thursday thanks scubatoys

Welcome to diving. You made lots of good picks. You may have input from many shouldhave/couldhave folks. Don't worry. You are diving. Take a few more courses. Dive a lot. Book a boat trip. Make up your own mind.

If you feel like you are one with your rig and you forget that you are breathing underwater then you done good.

OMS, Dive Rite good Scubapro....well... APEKS much beter. But you forgot the most important aspect of diving. Are you color coordinated?

I was hoping that this was a thread about a BP/W if not it would have been "feed me to the sharks".
