Hi all,
I'm off in a few month's time on a fabulous around-the-world trip and don't intend to be back for a couple of years.
I'm not sure which of my dive gear to sell, and which to keep, and was hoping for some advice from you lot.
I have heard that some gear simply doesn't like sitting in a cupboard and not being used for years, but I'm not sure what is OK to keep.
So, as a guide, if you had the following, what would you sell, and what would you store for your return?
drysuit (shell suit, not neo)
drysuit thermals
5mm Semidry
fins (SP twinjets)
backplate
weightbelt
wing
pony
twins
4 x sets regs (apeks & SP)
Uwatec computer
misc items like DSMBs, masks, hoods, booties, lycra skins etc
Obviously anything I store will be serviced if applicable before use again.
I just can't imagine that I could afford to buy another tech setup when I return, but I also don't want to store the wing for 3 years and then get home to find it's stuck together and irrepearable, thus worth nothing to me...
I'm thinking the wing and semidry, because I can always just replace the d/s seals and hopefully it'll work, unsure about all the rest though?
Thanks folks,
Bree
