It depends.

Are you over 21? If not then you should ask your parents first.

OK so I asked my dad and he said:

"What? Drysuit? Buoyancy aid? Bottom Timer with ascent rate? What you need all that for, when I dived you wore a wetsuit in 8degree water or 2 wetsuits if it was colder. You had one 1st stage and one 2nd stage after all you only have one mouth, depth guage told you how deep you were to the nearest 10fathoms, you didn't need a timer coz you came up when the needle on your SPG started to move with any breath and you only went up as fast as the smallest bubbles."

So it's been a while since my Dad was into his diving, he remembers when he thought he was cool when he got an ABLJ, but never used it for buoyancy?
