snoballz,
The salesperson certainly didn't sell you down. There is a world of discount / mail order gear out there and at the same time there can be big value in a new diver shopping at a full service local shop. There is a weekly thread on that topic, enough said.
You happen to count LeisurePro as one of your local dive shop. For most it's an online provider. I have made my share of LP purchases but you don't want to be shopping there for any critical items without understanding the potential of gray market goods. This is another frequent thread topic.
In a perfect world you would have become a ScubaBoard junkie 6 months before your first class and would be on your way to being dive gear savvy. Becoming knowledgeable about dive gear is more challenging than getting certified in most cases. But you are where you are and let's move on.
You bought the right items. Except for the snorkel they are fit critical and will need to be right for your pool and open water work. You got good stuff and if the fit is right any over buying or higher prices will soon be eclipsed by the cash that will be gushing from your bank account as you gear up.:11:
As a rule of thumb a new diver buying gear locally can expect to pay something like this:
Mask $65
Snorkel $25.
Booties $40.
Fins $100.
So for about $230. before taxes you can get perfectly good solid stuff that will serve you well for hundreds of dives. Premium items can drive this up another $150. Or if you're savvy and shop around you may shave $75 from the total. It's water over the dam now but I wanted to outline this for the many lurkers that will read this as dive season gets into gear.
Before you go exchanging things please consider the morality involved here. You went to a shop and let them invest time in serving you. It is unfortunate that you did not feel the service was top shelf. It may be that you were very well fit by a confident person that just didn't go the extra mile to help you understand things. Think about this before returning things and running around to save a few $$. If you really feel like you were taken than return the stuff and start over elsewhere.
