Hello and thank you for looking at this post and considering an answer.
I just completed my OW cert and have done 2 additional dives. I really enjoy the experience and want to do more. I have already acquired fins, mask, gloves, booties and a snorkle.
I am looking at what I should get next and I understand that these next ones will be more expensive. Where I dive is around Victoria, BC. Which is at the cold end of temperate diving, low to mid 50 F water temps. In addition I am 5' 4" and 190 lbs male with a waist smaller than chest. I don't work well with off the rack sizes, so when I rent I am using large and extra large suits and having to deal with the extra buonacy as well.
What should I look to as my first big purchase in equipment?
