Some of you may have seen my thread in the travel section about my wife and I and our newfound love of scuba. We recently completed our OW certs. Below is a list of our equipment. Still in need of a couple dive lights and maybe a couple knives or shears for cutting line (On our OW cert dive we saw a fellow classmate become entangled in a fishing line in Rainbow River, FL). Any critiques/advice/suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!
What we own:
*Zeagle Ranger and Zena BCs
*Atomic Aquatics M1 Regulators
*Atomic Aquatics SS1 (SS)
*Atomic Aquatics Fins, Masks, and Snorkels
*Suunto Eon Steel Dive Computers w/tank pods
*Wife has Bare 3mm and 5mm full suits and I have an Akona 3mm half-suit. I also plan on buying a Henderson full suit soon.
*Dive weights for our BCs
We would like to get/need suggestions for:
*Lights (preferably a good flood with a wide beam and also a smaller backup light for each of us)
*Dive knives (We were looking at the AquaLung Argonaut and it's little brother the Argonaut Stunt)
*Sheers (I don't know if knives are frowned upon for recreational divers? My wife and I both actually have combatives training with small arms and knives and we feel perfectly comfortable carrying them. But I know open carrying anything, even if it is a dive knife on a BC makes some people uncomfortable).
*Tanks (We don't plan on immediately buying our own tanks, but we would like to in the not too distant future depending on how frequently we are diving and so we can take advantage of having steel tanks).
Any other suggestions or anything I'm forgetting? Thanks again for any advice/suggestions!
