Good Afternoon
I a new to this site and a relatively new diver, only 16 dives under my belt so far.
I have now started buying, as opposed to renting, my own gear, latest acquisition was the Apeks XT50 reg & octopus and dive computer. The next bid descision is wing or jacket BCD.
Until now I have never used a wing, but a lot of people at my club here in Dubai are complete advocates. I am just about to complete my BSAC Sports Diver training and intend to try to get a lot of time underwater before moving on to the next qualification. Most of, if not all, my diving will done off of teh relatively warm waters of the UAE and Oman, at most a 5 - 7mm wet suit in the cold winter months, yet to experience that so they may be wimps, though someone here has switched to a dry suit!
Would you would more experienced divers recommend? I was also thinking of integral weights if I went for a jacket.
Look forward to your comments and advice.
