Hello to all the divers out there,
I would like share my very first scuba gear. Today I purchased first stage Scubapro MK17 first stage regulator with A700 second stage and G250V as a back-up regulator ($999 total). I really wanted a pimped out regulator so the A700 seems to be just that. If you take a look at scubapro A700 you will immediately see that its the kind of reg that 50 Cent would want if he decided to go scuba diving. I also wanted a no compromise back-up regulator (not those disgusting-yellow "octopus" kind) so the G250V looked really good (probably better than most primaries out there XD ). I got lucky with the depth and pressure gauge as I found a large analog one that shows depth in feet and meters, it shows pressures in PSI and BARS, and has a compass on the back (Aqua Lung brand, bought it for $249). I also purchased a 3/2mm wet suit along with gloves and boots. The boots have large clearance so I am wondering if I should exchange them for smaller size. The boots will be worn with Scubpro Seawing Nova fins. Anyways, enough of me bragging about my equipment. I can use some advice on how to take care of all this gear, I mean I really want it to last as I cannot afford such purchases for anytime soon.
Thanks
