I hesitate to ask this question as I do not want to open the proverbial "can of worms." Nor do I want to get into a Chevy vs. Ford debate. That said, I do need some advice and am hoping to get a general consensus from those who have been diving for a while and have experience with different brands.
There are so many brand names to choose from in BC's, reg's, etc. that it can be mind-boggling for the newcomer like me. I know that certain brands have good reputations like Scubapro and Oceanic (just examples) and others seem to be not as well known or discussed.
Hence my question. I have a question about overall quality and brand reputation. I am looking at products from Aeris, Bare (BC) and Sherwood. How are these companies viewed by the overall scuba diving community? Are they considered to be Good? Average? Or something less?
