Hi there,

first of all I apologize for my english. I'll do my best so everybody can understand me.

Due to job and health issues i had to take a looong brake from freediving (this was 3-4 years ago).
Today I've got more time, the health issues are gone and I need to get back into the water.

So now I want to buy some new equipment. There are 2 things in special, where i need help: fins and a computer.

Back then I only used "normal" but stiff fins for diving, but now I also want to get some longer fins.
My problem is, that I don't know which fins would be the best. I've got very long but narrow feet, so I've often got problems with finding fins that fit me well.
For the moment my plan is to get some Cressi Gara 2000 HF or 3000 LD (back then I used the Cressi Pro Star and the footpockets did fit quite well.
But I don't know which one I should choose, or if there are other alternatives for a pool diver, who goes deep diving just every now and then (and then not very deep).

With the computer I'm completly screwed. No idea what to buy.
It would be nice if I could use it for scuba and as a normal watch (and it shouldn't be too expensive). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
