I am a year-round gear collecting tinkering diver.
I don't really do dive vacations, But dive atleast once a week. My yearly dives are usually around 60 + - .
I am one of those guys that's more interested in the gear than the diving. I have around 30 regulators, 4 wings, 2 sets of doubles, multiple singles, stage tank, fenzy's, masterjackets, 3 thicknesses of wetsuits, 4 types of drygloves cause every time I see a new type of marigold or showa I NEED to try them. Hell, I even have an air 2 ii've never touched.
My first sidemount dives were done with my 50 cuft alu stages and an age old fenzy in a wetsuit. If the bladder hadn't delaminated I still might be doing it.
Now I run the classical 12l light steels with the xdeep.
I never actually dove jacket bcd's since my mother gifted me a wing and doubles when I started. So i've been having this weird thing that I might want to try a jacket bcd, just cause you know... Why not...I also bought an ots guardian on ebay yesterday...why? No idea, just to see how it dives I guess.
I am also a devout member of the church of 'scubapro mk5'. I get funny looks for diving them, but totally love them over my apeks dst xtx50, or aqualung legendz
If I were a decadent billionaire I would probably kidnap Andrew Göring from Sump UK and force him to make hardware, wings, tritons and everything that springs to mind.
TLDR: what kind of diver am I?
An obsessed diver that would love to dive every possible reg and configuration ever made. From a siebe gormann to ots to normal masks, from jetfins to tusa split fins, from fenzy's to bondage wings to dir donuts, from apeks mtxr to royal aquamasters, from dräger dolphins to habanero's or liberty sidemounts....
I'm Game!
