Where do I start...
I am 5' - 9" and I weigh 180 pounds. All the gear fits me perfectly. I live in the Columbus, OH area.
I thoroughly clean and rinse my equipment after each use. I get my equipment 'tuned' before each season by professionals. This equipment has never been in salt water.
COMPLETE diving package. I stopped adding up the cost of my gear at $3500 but I didn't stop buying.
I WILL NOT BREAK UP THE SET

About the Dive Computer
There is a little wear on the protective casing where it was rubbing on my BCD (can see in pictures). Otherwise it is in perfect condition. I stored in cushioned case (provided with sale, shown in pictures) inside a rugged dive box in a climate controlled garage.
The Surveyor is a compact, elegant and easy to use computer from Mares. All its functions are accessed by means of two mechanical push-buttons (Mares patent). It is powered by an ordinary 1.5 Volt AAA alkaline battery, which can be easily obtained and replaced. Although the instrument dimensions are compact, the display is clear and legible even in conditions of poor light thanks to the backlight feature.
Surveyor: the result of years of research for unparalleled performance and maximum safety. Surveyor uses a modified Haldanean-type algorithm, and its comprehensive functional capabilities enable it to manage every type of dive perfectly. In addition to incorporating all the functions of the leading dive computers, Surveyor also offers many additional advanced features.
