Gretting from New Caledonia

A mask would be the first thing to buy..............








Just messing with you!
Welcome to the board!
Assuming you have all the basic fins, mask, and snorkel. Some will say a BCD or a bp/w but some will say regulators and then some say buy a computer. I personally bought a BCD first.

Hi Liver10,

Welcome to the board!

My grandfather was in the U.S. Navy stationed in New Caledonia during WWII. I've always wanted to go visit and see where he was, and get some diving in.

Your question has been asked a few times, and a search will pull up several threads relating to "what should I buy first?".

Check this one out:
Starting Out

Near the bottom is where I throw my opinion into the mix.

Glad to have you here! -BW
