For all you novice divers out there, BWRAF has a great running theme going on his blog. A self-proclaimed scuba geek and instructor, he's methodically explaining the essential gear a diver needs, why it’s important, and how to choose the best style for your needs. I just read his post about choosing a regulator, and I found it quite useful. Although he’s avoiding recommending brand names, he is doing a great job providing guidance on how to choose appropriate gear, including a three-part series on BCDs. If you have any specific questions, I bet he’d be happy to answer them. Choosing The Right Scuba Gear
