Hello all,
I am getting ready for my first trip to LaPaz the week after next and could use some advice from those that have experience in that area. I'll be at Palapas Ventana with 'Diving for a Cause'. I need some specific gear and setup recommendations as my hunting experience so far has been limited to east coast diving.
Here's what I intended to bring, but would appreciate any suggestions you guys have. If you would recommend something else that I may need (or don't need), please share. Specific input would be greatly appreciated!
60" Big Daddy hybrid
x2 5/16" shafts (x1 w/slip tip & SS shooting line; x1 w/flopper & mono)
x2 19/64" shafts (x1 w/slip tip & SS shooting line; x1 w/flopper & mono)
Riffe Euro 120
Riffe Euro 100 (for the girlfriend)
11 ltr Technosport float
35 ltr RA hippo float
60' floatline
10' bungee
Neptonic break away
Reel w/2.2mm line (can be interchanged b/w BDC and Riffe)
3mm or 5mm wetsuit???
Shark Shield (I don't like to wear it, but it has saved my butt a few times in Hatteras/Bahamas. Typically hang it from my float though. Necessary?)
Flashers?
Also, should I bring my Omer 90cm if viz is poor or for reef hunting? Will the 120 be too long for some applications there? Would like not to bring the 90 if I can get away with it, but don't wanna get slapped either for stealing my girlfriend's 100. :nono:
Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I feel like I've come to the right place for great input.
Thanks again!
Ben
