With time you'll end up testing more stuff and "profiling" what your real needs are depending what you want to do.


Gracias amigo!!! Buenas tardes, Thanks a lot for the advice. Being comfortable in the water is the training i'm doing now especially with the buoyancy control thingy and the breath holding,thou the breath holding part i cant do my max since i dont have a dive buddy which is very important. Do black outs also happen in shallow water without even going deep? I'm still saving for the course thou since i spent all my leisure money on the equiptments and i still have to buy that Suunto D4 which is turning my wallet into static mode hehehehe.
