Blame Jean, I want to go tech!

[Callahad]

Thanks to five wonderful dives in Ginnie and Orange Grove Sink with Jean (and Larry), I've been bitten by the cave diving bug. Bad.

I figure the best way to prep for the training (hopefully this Summer) will be by swapping into a backplate/wing system, getting a drysuit, and doing massive numbers of recreational ice dives up here.

Can anyone point me toward reasonably priced regs that perform well in the water temperatures we get? And what should I be looking for in a drysuit, where should I be looking, etc?

Thanks,
-Dan
