I don't see how damselfish wasn't being nice to you. But that's okay. You said you're okay with it.
I was just being a little cheeky...take some humor plz- lol I'll take a whooping if its worth it!
The safest/best/most important gear at 150' for me would be enough gas, great regulators and a warm suit. So I'd be diving doubles, breathing through Apeks regulators and wearing a drysuit. My bc would be a backplate/wing set up. You have asked, and gotten answers.
now were getting to the nitty gritty - this is the kind of info that is useful!!! - how about some specifics!!! that would be money!!!
It's the collective experience on this forum that is suggesting to wait and see what you like and don't like before making any investment. It's not being said without just cause. Many of us have gone the route you're going...and it cost us money and we've learned from it. THANKS DAD - I WILL PROCEED TO DO AS I SAID - LOL It's up to you if you choose to to heed the advice given or not. Noone's going to make you listen or make you wait. But collectively, it's agreed that it's in your best interest to do so...especially since you're not made of money as you say. (I have done some stupid stuff and on hindsight I have been lucky - on the other hand it has provided me with a lot of joy - the gear has saved me twice from some serious *****e - I dont want to worry about money even though I am not made of it - I will spend what it takes to not be killed by "if he had xxxxx that would not have happened...) I am sure you understand....

thanks for the reply!!
thanks -and I am not trying to be cheeky - just really curious about opinions on the gear - not so much on the decisionmaking...
