Evenin' All
I wonder if any of you vets might be able to help me with a bit of eqiupment confusion, I am wondering what are the main items of diving kit that you generally need to suply yourself (the stuff that many places don't rent out) and what are the good brands and what are the bad brands? (as i have no clue)
Also I have been reading about Dry Suits, Wet Suits, and the different techs involved in both, and I wonder what sort of considerations need to be made for UK diving?
Alot of people have suggested Dry Suits, but I have found them to be amazingly expensive (atleast, to me at the moment anyway)
Also what if you wanted to dive in multiple different climates? from the tropics to the cold scottish waters?
would a 7mm suit (wet suit not dry) be too warm for the tropics? or would a 5mm be too cold for the UK? I would rather not have to buy two wetsuits! (it's going to be hard enough to find one that fits anyway! lol)
Im guessing from alot of places I have looked at online that most laces require you to have your own
Mask
Fins
Snorkel
Anything else I should consider? sorry for the newbiefied questions all, thanks for any help
