What masks do you recommend? Why? etc...

The one that fits. I prefer a dark colored mask with clear sides. Similar to this.

Seriously, you have to try on masks. They all fit very differently. There no point in paying to travel and getting out to a dive to have it all ruined by a poorly fitting mask or one that leaks.


Swivel on a regulator is a game changer. The Atomic line is fantastic. My main is this Z3 and I have a Z2 octopus.


Zeagle Focus BCD
I wanted a full bcd with integrated weights and I’ve read nothing but good reviews about Zeagle products. I’m very happy with this BC.



My primary computer is the Suunto D4i Novo. I also have the wireless transmitter to my first stage so I have all the dive data including air consumption. I rarely plug it to the computer but it has the capability. It’s also small enough to wear as a regular sport watch.

I bought everything from Leisure Pro online. You can make your own setup and they will quote it out matching or beating anyone’s price. The local shops prices even when discounted are absurdly high. I was diving for about 10 years before I purchased the expensive parts. All in it’s probably $2,500. It’s a small price to pay to have comfort at 100’ that the last guy that rented it was me.
