I plan on doing both but not traveling this year. Dove last weekend in 57⁰ water temperature. 7mm wetsuit just isn't cutting it. Gear put away til next spring !

Cold water reg is a must.

Start saving for a drysuit, as you go deeper your going to want it even in the summer.

See if you can try a bpw, they have advantages for cold water.

I thought I had a bpw lol Geez I'm confused... I have a Aqualung Lotus back inflation-style bcd

BC is personal preference. I usually recommend trying each style prior to buying but it looks to late for that.
