	This Saturday I will be making my first open-water dive (part of
	a PADI certified open-water diving course).   As such, I am a
	complete novice and could use some advice on what equipment to
	buy and where to buy it.

	I would be interested in any recommendations for specific equipment
	and mail-order dealers (or dealers in northeast Mass.).  I would
	also like to know things like "I bought a ____ when I first started
	out but later discovered that a _____ was so much better/easier
	that I wished I had bought one of them instead."

	If there are any other novices looking for similar info, I would
	be glad to send a copy of whatever I get...  If there is a
	lot of interest (more than 4 requests) I will summarize and
	post to this news group.

	Please send info or requests to me at the address below.
