    Just tuck the gauge hose into the front strap of your BCD, that way its always at your guts and not trailing behind.

    I've found a weight intergrated BCD as a waste of time, It's easier having the weight in a belt so you can throw it over the side of the boat when getting back in, makes handling the BCD in the boat easier and you can put your BCD on in the water easier.

    I'd like to get a BCD with the built in Octi, the Octi pisses me off but haven't got the balls to take it off.

    @vietnamcam I did the open water course a few years ago and to be honest it was a waste of money, get a book and learn the theory then go out with a mate. Diving is piss easy.
    @Toby go get your lead from the scrap metal dealer, will be about $1 per kilo, our one up here puts specific dive weights aside.

    I never use a computer as I never do more than 3 dives in a day and don't go below 35m, I just make sure I do a decom stop on at least the last dive. But I'm quite iggnorant of computers.

    Just my 2c
