Thanks for all the recommendations.
I may have to take a trip to LeisurePro (6hrs away) and try some stuff on. I don't know how much that will help if I can not actually dive with it though.
Lake Champlain would be my primary dive site. Mid 40's in the early spring, Mid 70's height of the summer. I would think never warmer than 50 at any kind of depth.
My thought was the Henderson Hyper either 3 or 5 mm and I have a 3m shorty I can through on under it for colder days. Not sure if this will be enough or not. Then when I do get the chance to dive in warmer waters I can just use the Henderson for full critter protection. There is a Henderson dealer across the lake so I can try those on. I'm not sure if I am ready to go dry just yet.
With all the research I have done my wish list looks like this: These are not final decisions just what I chose from looking at the reviews;
Computer:
Aeris Elite AI wrist or the Uwatec Aladin Air Z I like the Cochran but that thing looks complicated.
BC:
I like the looks and concept of the Mares Air Trim system (not sure if it even works) or the Dive Rite Trans Pac II (Or equivalent)
Regulator:
Atomic Aquatics Z1 or M1, Mares Abyss or V32, Apeks ATX-200
Octupus: I thought I would like to have that set up off the BC Inflate/deflate hose but I am not sure if that is a good idea
Mask will have to be fit. I do like the low volumn and lots of visabilty. I will try out the TUSA Visulator as recommended to see if it fits.
Fins: Either the Apollo or the Atomic Aquatics Liquid Blue were my first choices - I have never used either. The LDS across the lake is a big Force Fin dealer so maybe I will try those also.
Again thanks for your time
