        I am new to the group and just searched the archive.  I found
several answers to my questions about cave diving, but was hopeing that
someone could answer a few more.
        I am interested in getting cave certified to a 'basic' level.  I
realize that this definition varies by agency.  Basically, it means that I
am not interested in using doubles or decompression diving yet.  However, I
do have a genesis 120 and am assuming that I would need to put a Y valve on
this tank.
        I am also assuming that a backup regw/ a seven foot hose is
necessary.  (I would want one anyway)  Comments on any other equipment that
will be necessary (for example which reels) would be appreciated.
        In terms of a primary light, I have looked at the new ikelite and
several of the dive rite models.  Suggestions on which light is preferred
as well as burn times for the different wattage bulbs on the two
manufacturers systems would be appreciated also.

thank you

Daniel
