Hi Guys and Gals,
thought id say hi, im Andy from the Isle of Man and have recently started in this new world of underwater mischief
. Makes a change from my last hobby which was building and playing with 4x4 challenge vehicles here on the island.
so..... Hi all
Now if i can ask a question of all you more experienced divers out there ??? I am only a few dives off my PADOI OW and i am thinking of buying some kit... Im thinking of looking a bit further than the entry level packages as rather than replace / upgrade later on, i thought id get some 'quality' kit to start with.
Can i beg some thoughts on the following please.. (URLs edited for 5 post rule

Mares Dragon AT PLUS BCD
(the air trim one... looks nice and i like the look of the AT mechanism)

The Poseiden Xstreme regs ( i would get the Poseiden octopus too )
w w w.scubastore.com/scuba-diving/poseidon-xstream-duration-m26/3872/p
now i have heard stories of flu like symptoms from these regs but can anyone offer sound opinions on this please?
w w w.scubaboard.com/forums/diving-medicine/214091-flu-like-symptoms-after-dive-poseidon-regulator.html
finally, the Suunto Vyper Air with transmitter (i work in I.T. so i like this idea lol)
