Subject: Re: equipment recommendations?
Cam:
* Reef Scuba has a nice compact reel that will disassemble easily in case
of  a tangle.
* Modular H-Valve because if you ever go to doubles then you can use it as
part of a manifold.
* My DUI thinsulate has been great, and has not been restrictive. You might
consider two suits..one drying while you wear the other on multi day trips.

* Try loosening your waist strap and hiking the doubles up to reach that
valve knob.
* Good luck
