Hey mate, I would recommend a 5mm 2-piece wetty
3mm gloves
5mm socks/booties
Long blade fins
Weight belt with weights
And a mask and snorkel.

Speak to Brett from Epsealon Australia, he's on here, Facebook and
Also http://esclapezaustralia.com.au

He extremely helpful and will also allow you to try certain items before you buy them.
The only thing I wouldn't buy online without trying first is a good mask as you need
A good fit and seal

Brett has some nice guns for sale (Epsealon Australia). Also Adreno has a large store in Cheltenham opposite Southland with a large range.
Also make sure you get a float and flag, float lines, knife, etc.
lots a different guns out there, just depends on how much you want to spend!

Start looking at 90cm or 1m euro style guns. They suit vic conditions.

The topic has been covered on this forum plenty of times. Have a search around for discussion
