Hi there!
I've starting to buy some equipment (thanks for the Xmas money family! ) and I've not got much so far.
I've got my fins, mask, snorkel (I've used it once - is that normal? Usually I just leave it on the boat), gloves and hood.
When it comes to BCs and drysuits (cold water diver alert!) I was wondering is it better to go new or used. I've seen a few drysuits/bcs for sale that are used but seem in good nick, but I'm not sure if used is the way to go. Any good/bad experiences? What are your preferences?
The other problem is that I'm on a fairly tight budget - there ain't a lot of cash to go around. But when it comes to something as important as a BC or drysuit, I don't mind saving and waiting, if it's the right thing to do. But getting a bargain would also be good!
Just looking for some general advice!
Thanks
