I am a Divemaster and have been diving for quite a few years,,lol. I have dove with quite a bit of differant equipment. I have finally found what works best for me. What is best for you may differ. I dive with a Sherwood Oasis first and second stage.Shadow plus octo. Use the Sherwood Wisdom Comp..."wich I love" and use a Zeagle Ranger BCD "wich I will never give up" ! So like I said thats what works for me... Damieon
