Beginner equipment recommendations?

[freedivernd]

I do hundreds of more breath hold dives than I've ever done scuba dives but one thing I really like when I scuba is a good field of vision mask. Unlike my low volume freediving masks I really enjoy the field of view my Cressi Big Eyes affords me. I'd recommend that mask to anyone as long as it would fit them good. You can easily look down and see stuff at chest level. You can get correcting lenses for it too.
