Picked up more gear

At Underwater Sport's big sale I picked up a DUI 300 insulation, ordered two 80 and two 100. Both galvanized and left and right valves. Last Friday my dry suit came in and I was able to pick up the four cylinders. Now I just need to start getting my weight dialed in.

Awesome!
Do you have an instructor or mentor you are working with?
Interested to follow how it goes. Have fun!

I am very lucky that I have several. One of my friends is Richard Morton (Dive-tronix) who is a wealth of knowledge and if he doesn't know then he calls up someone who does. Point in case when I was looking at side mount he called his friend Jeff Christensen. Jeff has been great in also answering my many questions and we have plans to get together for dives.

I also have a friend I know from another life that is a side mount instructor. Only challenge with him is he is in the tri cities area.

I just feel super lucky to have such great friends.
