Ok. Scubapro reg - Mk25 1st stage / S555 2nd stage. Got a hell of a deal on it when I purchased it new a few years ago. Parts are available anywhere. Built like an Abrams tank. Sherwood Avid BC - well constructed with two tank bands, 6 stainless D-rings. Packs well for travel. The outside snorkel pocket makes a great place to store a smb. Oceanic VEO 250 Computer - wristmount, air and nitrox. Easy to use with a large display. Oceanic, IMO, has one of the best if not the best customer service. Cressi mask and fins - I’ve used Cressi masks and fins since the late seventies. The Big Eyes mask provides excellent downward vision which is handy when retrieving something from a bc pocket, etc. The rondine A fins are solid blades, not split. Plenty of propulsion, especially against currents. The only down side is they are 25" in length, which makes them hard to pack for carryon.
From SinkOrSwim: From diverray: It is helpful if people would explain why they prefer one brand/style over another, as some of the above posters have. That way you could consider that in your contemplations about the various styles and brands.
Thats what i was just thinking lol.... If you could please explain why you prefer on over the other, be it price, comfort, style or performance. I am just staring out, so i do not need the pro gear, although maybe in the years to come i will have a chance to expand my horizons from just an OW diver!
