Hello everyone

I'm a newbe diver and looking for some advice on basic eqiupment to buy which would work well for the cold Northeast waters. Does anyone have any suggestions on wetsuits, BCD's and dive computers?

Hello S.,

it’s about time you surfaced here! :)

Click [thread=91105]here[/thread] for ScubaBoard 101: [thread=91105]A beginner's guide to the ScubaBoard.Com forums[/thread].

Don’t forget to fill out your Public Profile (and Dive Info) on one of your next surface intervals so we can get to know you a little bit better. Besides, it will make it easier for us to answer your questions. Please, do add a Profile Pic. You might even add an avatar (you know, the small pic on the left of this post). If you’re not in a particularly creative mood, you can have a look at my Public Profile for inspiration.

As a newly addicted diver, you may want to pick up some pointers and advice in our newbee forum: New Divers & Those Considering Diving.

For local info and/or (future) buddies, just follow the path or have fun along the way by clicking on any of the given links: ScubaBoard > Regional Travel & Dive Clubs > North America > United States > New England Lobsta Divahs.:42:

Well, you asked for it. Here it is, El Orans’ Guide to Gear Selection:

Welcome to Scubaboard! I have found this place a great resource to get all kinds of information. There are a number of regional groups here and you will probably get all kinds of advice at the New England Lobsta Divahs forum. Good luck!
