Niice. Well, scuba diving can be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. I don't know about your course requirments, but you usually don't have to buy all the gear right away, you can just rent some of it. A little advice though, if you're going to buy it, buy stuff that will last. Meaning don't buy a cheap BC because it costs less and then get a better one later, get a good one now (if you must) so it won't need replacing in a month or two. 
Good luck.

Welcome to SB!! :happywave Put us in your computer's favorites and check in often. This is a great place to learn, compare, argue
Look around our various forums - everything from New-To-Scuba to Instructors-Only to Dive Medicine.
I fly to Florida 2 or 3 times a year to dive the southern Keys. You are in a much better position for training, buying gear, and the diving. Get to know the people on the Florida forum.
