Hiya folks,
I've been looking at Oceanic Reg and Octo to buy. I'm not willing to invest so much moolah into my gear, so I'm thinking of buying these:
1st stage: Oceanic SP4
2nd stage: Oceanic Alpha 7
Octopus: Oceanic Alpha 7
I'm a new diver with 19 dives logged, all in warm waters of SE Asia. PADI AOW certified. I'm not planning to do any tek diving, but I do plan to go on a recreationl diving trip at least once month.
Now comes the questions:
1. Do you think the setup is good enough for the type of diving I will be doing? Should I splurge on supposedly "better" equipment?
2. What kind of durability can I expect from the above setup? If I do 5-6 dives every month, will the equipment last?
3. Have you got the same setup? What are the pros and cons?
4. Is there any other brand of the same calibre that you would recommend?
Thanks, and sorry if I sound like a dumb rookie Can't help it!
