Hey y'all
I've been planning on buying my first set of gear for a while now and I think I've finally come up with the list i'm satisfied with.
I'm trying to put together a light set so I can easily travel with it in just a carry on bag (I always fly to my dive sites)
BC
- Cressi Air Travel 2.5Kg
REG
- Cressi Ellipse Black MC9-SC
- Cressi Ellipse Octopus
810g (without hoses)
CONSOLE
- Cressi Mini3 Console
490g
FINS
- Aqualung Hotshot (1.5Kg)
or
- Oceanic Viper (1.6Kg)
TOTAL Weight: around 5.5 Kg
What do you guys think?
- Do you see anywhere I could save more weight while still keeping the same quality?
I'm thinking of changing that console to just a small brass SPG since I already have a dive computer. That should save a few hundreds grams.
I haven't chosen the lightest gear I could find on purpose, I still want to have a minimum of quality, solidity... and those items all had great reviews.
- My choice was partly based on articles and reviews from google search, and some of them were a few years old, anyone know of any item in this list that has already had a new model out? Or any other better item i could replace it with.
- Anyone knows what is the size of the Oceanic Viper fins? I'm concerned they might be too long and be over the max allowed size for carry on baggage. And the oceanic website just has no info...
Thanks for your feedback
