The day I had been waiting for finally came. I got my own Aqualung diving gear! The staff at Divemasters opened up an hour early to give me first class service when I was choosing my new equipment.

When I walked into the store I felt like a little kid in a toy store! I looked around and I couldn’t believe all the stuff I saw; I wanted to buy everything! I started off looking at computers and decided to get a Suunto D4.

Next we moved onto BCDs. I already had an idea about which one I wanted to buy so I tried on the Aqualung Pearl i3. The Pearl i3 is special because it is designed for women, this makes it much more comfortable in the water.

After that I moved on to regulators. After a lot of thinking I decided to get an Aqualung Legend LX. Everyone told me I would feel the difference breathing underwater. I knew that it would be better than the regulators I had been using, but when I got in the water I was blown away at how easy it was. Breathing out of this reg is almost easier than breathing normally! I also decided to buy Aqualung Slingshot fins. You can adjust the stiffness on these guys so it makes them compatible to many different diving conditions.

Once I got all the essential gear sorted I bought some extras including a dive knife, an extra mask, smb, and a torch. Thanks Blue Season Bali for all this great stuff!!!

Right now I am on a weekend trip diving in Tulamben. We are doing 6 dives while we are here which gives me a chance to practice with my new equipment. It’s always a little strange when you switch gear and takes some getting used to. Hopefully with the help of Blue Season Bali I’ll soon be a scuba ninja. I’ll let you all know how it goes!
