I have been researching and need help on the Pro's and Cons to help make a decision on my first real DPV.
1st I live in PR and will have to go to FL to get the DPV. Not a big deal as I will do it when I have a work trip.
2nd I have a budget $4,000.00 set aside......
3rd I will not be doing caves I will be using it for boat dives to do wreck dives, lengthen my air on some of the wall dives that have heavy current and beach dives to get out to reefs and Blue holes and back at are 600-700 meters from shore.
I have doing a lot of research and comparrisons using the Tahoe Benchmark report from 2011 and more. I have decided on the Hollis 160 or Minnus 1.5. Yes the Minnus is more that my budget so I am looking for a good reason to wait and save up more.......
Looking for recomendations with justifications (Pro's/Cons) and if there is a better one within the price range point me to the better one for the bang for the buck.
Hope for some good input.......
