Thanks! I'm in the process of reading the forums here regarding masks, BCs, and so on. Right now I have a Cressi Liberty Triside mask that leaks sometimes. Odds are it's just not a perfect fit to my face.
I'm considering:
Cressi Big Eye Evolution mask
Mares Hybrid AT BC
Sharkskin skin diving suit to wear under a wetsuit
Not sure on regulator and stuff yet
I don't use fins because I'm a paraplegic. I do really like Darkfin gloves though.
My goal is to have things readily accessible to me without needless fumbling. I need to keep my hands free for movement as much as possible while diving, otherwise I tend to be at the mercy of which direction the water is moving at any given time.
Oceanic had a HUD mask that they no longer produce. Compass, air pressure, etc, all as a display in your mask. That would be great ... if it were still around and/or of any quality. Even just a compass as a HUD in the mask would be game changing for me.
