Hello from snowy Syracuse, NY

[capt. dave]

OK, a new diver in search of HONEST answers on equipment. I am a US Coast Guard capt. (50 gross tons). I am looking for diving packages to review, so I am looking on opinions on the best gear. I plan on diving in the cooler water in NY (1000 Islands etc.) and some warmer trips. I was advised that Scuba Pro is good, Oceanic and Areis are related somehow and not that great. So, I am looking for higher end equipment that will last for at least awhile. I appreciate ALL responses and help you provide.

Welcome to the board. Personally, I have a Oceanic Delta 3 and have never had a problem. I'm sure most of this revolves around opinion.
