You've experienced the thrill and you know it's for you, but you don't know where to start with buying gear?

 

Here's an excellent first kit for 20% off retail!

 

This isn't just a newbie kit either. I've put together a kit that will last you for years and grow with you as you become a more experienced diver. This is also an excellent travel kit. It's light, durable, and packs well.

I personally use this gear and can vouch for the quality and durability of each piece of this kit. The Scorpion BCD is a super comfortable back inflate BCD. I've put 150 dives into mine and it's going strong. The Compact regs are a workhorses and will always serve you well. The console has a quality integrated dive computer reducing the need to purchase one separately and have an extra piece of gear to keep track of.

 

With this kit package you get:

  • F-Dual & Supernova Dry
  • Scorpion BCD
  • AC2 / Compact + Octopus Compact
  • Michelangelo Console 2
  • Regulator Bag

F-Dual Mask &

The F-Dual is a single-lens mask featuring a unique assembly of lens and skirt without a frame. The mask design bonds a high-grade silicone double-feathered edge skirt directly to a single tempered glass lens for the ultimate in simplicity. The silicone facial is assembled directly on the glass without the need for a frame. This system guarantees good visibility in all directions. The low internal volume allows for effortless clearing and the quick-adjust strap buckles are molded directly into the skirt for a flexible fit and reduced drag. The F-Dual mask has a wide split strap design for comfort and to give even-tension on the skirt for a proper seal.

 

Supernova Dry Snorkel

The Supernova Dry is one of the best dry snorkels available in the market. It has a unique Splash Guard at the top which greatly reduces the entrance of water during use on the surface. The special valve on top seals the tube as you dive, almost totally preventing the entrance of water when the snorkel is submerged. The end part has a corrugated piece that is smooth on the inner side and keeps the snorkel away from the mouth during use when scuba diving. A special water collection well, with a large elliptic valve, allows quick and easy expulsion of water. The replaceable angled mouthpiece and corrugated tube section are both made from Hypoallergenic Silicone adding comfort and function. A quick-release snorkel keeper and ergonomically contoured shape make this one great snorkel.

 

Scorpion BCD

The Scorpion is a black-inflation jacket designed to be very comfortable when worn, like using a traditional backpack. In fact, thanks to its modular designed the diver will not have the feeling of wearing a heavy and uncomfortable harness. It is designed to be very versatile for all types of diving, with a sturdy but lightweight construction at the same time (2,45 kg | 5.4 lb size M) and with a low transport volume but robust and very flexible. The main innovation is the orientation of the weight pockets. Instead to be horizontally and to occupy the space destined to the pockets, they are vertically located in line with the tank, behind the pockets, and perfectly integrated into the profile of the jacket. Having them aligned with the body and perfectly located on both sides will increase drastically the control of the buoyancy, increasing stability and making it easier for any movement. The harness system, completely independent of the bladder, provides absolute stability of the B. C. D. on the diver and completely releases oppression of the chest, axillary and abdominal area due to the expansion of the bladder to the outside of the dorsal area and surrounding the tank. The design and arrangement of harnesses make it completely unisex. The shoulder straps are padded and they have an anatomic design like the traditional backpacks, for ensuring stability and comfort. The seams are internal to avoid friction even diving without a wetsuit. The ventral strap is developed with a new important concept. For tightening the straps you have just to pull them moving forward, not laterally like the other BCDs. It’s way easier for controlling the fit of the jacket. It features 2 large zipped pockets that are positioned laterally and they are padded for maximum comfort. High-capacity dorsal air chamber (19 kg size M) but with an external volume of stowage always contained, thanks to the elastic containment tensioners that have as an additional mission to facilitate the emptying maneuver and avoid displacement of the air during the dive that It would cause instability. It has a foldable structure, useful for storage. Fully covered harness with a comfortable neutral buoyancy padding made of a closed-cell material that avoids the accumulation of water or air and, therefore, reduces the inherent buoyancy of the jacket and facilitates quick drying. Direct System Inflator: push-button with wide clearances with respect to its seat to avoid the blocking action of the sand grains. Vacuum button with sealing using a silicone washer. Push-button integrated into the profile to avoid unwanted inflation when pulling the hose to empty. New very resistant corrugated hose of very progressive curvature. New upper low profile exhaust valve with a non-return valve that prevents the entry of accidental water. It features 2 exhaust air valves front-controlled. 4 D-rings made of EBS. Fabric made of 420 Denier nylon.

 

AC2 / Compact + Octopus Compact

Ideal scuba diving regulator for beginners and travelers at an affordable price. Piston 1st stage plus a compact single-hull second stage. 1 HP and 4 LP ports. Weight: 923 g – 32.6 oz. Made in Italy. Simple piston 1st stage, a “work mule” that is affordable, simple, reliable and robust, suitable for intense use. This first stage is appreciated by dive centers and professional companies who consider it to be a very rentable tool, due to its low cost and practically nonexistent need for maintenance, as well as a surprising level of performance. Conical filter with large filtering capacity, essential for preventing infiltration of particles from the tanks. This feature is especially important for regulators in dive schools and rental agencies. Airflow administered at 2100 l/min with an intermediate pressure drop in intensive breathing (2175 PSI | 150 BAR) 7÷12 PSI | 0.5÷0.8 BAR (measurement is taken at an LP port with the second stage connected and 2175 PSI pressure in the tank). Exterior LP regulation with a common hexagonal key, greatly facilitates managing adjustments and technical maintenance. Greatly simplified single-hull 2ndstage made of ABS + elastomer of really compact size and extremely light. Its mechanism and development are perfectly planned to obtain the minimum number of components and great strength. It’s a smart shopping option because of its combination of features – reliability – price – maintenance cost. Asymmetrical frontal 2nd stage cover drilling. The water flow pushes the diaphragm anti-clockwise direction to create its retraction in a flat position and to make the lever decrease gradually in precise perpendicularity, regardless of condition. The specific calibration of the inhalation mechanism changes slightly the personality on air output according to Compact series, rewarding an abundant flow without the need to exploit Venturi effect, beyond the exquisite touch and sensitivity of these kinds of regulators. This feature provides a limited tendency to continuous flow on the surface or during the placement of equipment into the water, excellent for schools and renting (both the octopus and the double regulator). However, the results of the features place it beyond regulators of the highest range.

 

Michelangelo Console 2

The Michelangelo Console 2 has been designed to fit the Michelangelo scuba dive Computer in a modern console, which differs in form, size and weight of similar products on the market. The different sizes of the two instruments, the computer Michelangelo and the Pressure Gauge, have led to a console designed truly innovative and original. The instruments are arranged on slightly tilted, which further improves the design and allows for greater readability of the same. The use of advanced materials such as polycarbonate and desmopan, have reduced to a minimum thickness and weight and the console reveals a surprising lightness, which obviously translates into ease of use and minimum strain on the hose connection to the first HP the stadium. The hose connection has a lower section of the standard (11 mm – 0.43 in), to the advantage of its flexibility and lower weight. The Michelangelo is designed, developed, and produced in Italy by Cressi Elettronica. It is a completely modular, rugged computer with a wide UFDS display, which provides the proverbial ease of navigation and Cressi computer menus. It has complete Nitrox management, depth gauge mode, and a reset option. It allows up to 2 mixed gasses configurations. The algorithm incorporates RGBM and Deep Stop. The menu and navigation system are identical to the rest of the Cressi diving computers, with ease of reading, access to information, and model parameter modification. Easy configuration, navigation through the various menus, and access to a large amount of information displayed intuitively. “User-Friendly Display System”. The information display, screen contrast, proportions, and digit size have been carefully chosen for ease of use. All of the information presented is separated by light lines to facilitate reading even in stressful or emergency situations. Backlight can be activated by button or when the alarm sounds. Extended battery life through a combination of systems: battery saver mode when the computer is not used with automatic power-on. The Submersible Pressure Gauge features a fluorescent dial, which glows in low light conditions. It reads from 0 to 350 BAR | 5000 PSI. For at-a-glance monitoring of air pressure, the instrument’s face is divided into three different colored zones: the area from 50 BAR | 600 PSI and below is highlighted in red with solid and red stripes. If the gauge is used on deeper dives, the red scale extends and fades to 60 BAR | 1000 PSI, this provides for added reserve air indication required at greater depths. From 50 BAR | 600 PSI to approximately 200 BAR | 3000 PSI the scale is green and from 200 BAR | 3000 PSI to the end of the scale is colored in blue. Thanks to the BT Interface (sold separately) it is possible to connect the dive computer to a smartphone. The docking station of the interface uses the IR connection to communicate with the dive computer to save its internal battery. With the Cressi app, it is possible to download the diving sessions and monitor the training. The App is compatible with all versions of Android and iOS. The device is powered by a long-lasting CR2430 button battery.
