Dear all,
I have been a long time reader of Scubaboard, but this is my first ever post.
Mods please move this post if I have chosen the the wrong forum.
Just to show you all my diving history and background:
I am currently living in Indonesia in Southeast Asia and I have been diving for a couple years, logging more than 200 dives and have collected enough PADI specialties to be eligible for their Master Scuba Diver rating.
I have recently finished a one month PADI Divemaster internship.
I am not looking to work professionally in the industry, but in the future I am interested in taking PADI IDC for the challenge.
For now, I am interested in and learning UW photography.
In the future I might also want to try doing some technical diving.
My current gear set up is as follow:
- Scubapro S600/MK25 with 3 gauges in console (depth, pressure, compass)
- Scubapro Air 2
- Scubapro T-Force
- Suunto Zoop
Recently I have been noticing a lot more divers here who are using BP/W, which looks very streamlined.
After trying a BP/W set up, I also find it very very comfortable and stable underwater.
So now I am thinking of buying one and changing my set up to below:
- Scubapro S600/MK25 with just the SPG.
- Scubapro Octo.
- Halcyon Infinity with Alum backplate and the Quick Cinch harness.
- One Suunto D9 and back up Suunto Vyper Air.
The main goal for me to change my set up is to be as streamlined as possible underwater and to be as light as possible on the surface while maintaining redundant safety, hence the two computers.
With the two computers I would have three pressure gauges (1 analog SPG, 1 wireless air pressure gauge on the Suunto D9, and one standby on the Vyper Air), two digital compasses (on the Suunto computers), two digital depth meters (on the Suunto computers).
Other accessories I always have on me on any dive:
- Back up light (UK Q40 eLed)
- DSMB
- Reel for deploying SMB
- Divealert airhorn and Storm whistle
- UK knife (small, mounted on inflator hose)
I am looking for some comments and / or suggestion on my idea.
Thank you.
