Resistance is futile

Hi All!

I previously had a Vision Inspiration when I lived and worked in Egypt a couple of years ago. It was utterly awesome and I had some truly memorable dives in the warm clear waters of the Red Sea. I sold it on my return to the UK as it didn't fit with my 'new' life.

So it gives me great pleasure to have found this forum. It may just help me make that decision... should I buy another?

Oh the angst!

I did a "bailout dive" last week. I boarded the boat with enough O2 for 2 dives, but was offered an extra bonus dive on the way back. It was indeed a quandrary: do I sit on deck and crack a beer, or borrow a tank, reg and BCD and splash with an OC set? Sheesh that OC air's cold! - and the noise: it's like try to go birdwatching with an anti-aircraft battery!

You know you're going to buy a 'breather: it's just a question of which, right?

Ain't that the truth!

I'll surf idly around here for a while and then go and blow a whole pile of cash. What the hell, what else is it for?

But do I go back down the Vision YBOD route, or perhaps a Meg, or perhaps something else??? Time for a little research.
