A data point for the discussion....
I got lucky early on and was pointed in the right direction (started in a BP/W etc.). I just took a look through my equipment lists and of the ~$13,000 in gear I now own I don't use about $575 of it on a regular basis. The unused items are:
7mm Wetsuit
Snorkel
Force-fins![Winking :wink: :wink:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
At about the $2500 mark I had a perfectly acceptable DIR/Hog rig for mild exposures (40min @ 50', 55F ) with about $175 of waste.
Thanks for the help guys.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
