Hi from SF

[capybara]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Have about 15 dives so far, mostly Hawaii and once in Catalina. I'd like to start diving in Monterey. Looking to buy my own equipment so I look forward to your advice! I'll post in the gear section. Thanks, capybara

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

There is a lot to read about equipment on this board! Take your time. Be ready for the "go for a backplate and wing" suggestions. In fact, it might be a good place to start with when reading through posts about gear. That decision will probably affect others from a "philosophical" standpoint. What I mean is that your reasons for deciding "for" or "against" a backplate and wing will be the same reasons that you will build upon for decisions made for the rest of your rig.

Don't forget to fill out your profile and dive info, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically from your profile, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

Dive safe!

Christian

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.

Welcome to the Board Capybara, glad you found us. I'm sure you will get lots of good advise, but before you post maybe it will be easier to read existing threads on specific equipment (use the search function on the top menu bar).

Lots and lots of safe diving,
Maria
