So I got my basic, advanced, and nitrox certification in 2016. At the same time I started the advanced and nitrox class, I bought a nice set of equipment as if I did, the class and certification was free.
I bought a Hollis 500SE (I believe that’s the exact model), an Aqualung second stage, an Aqualung BCD, and a wetsuit/mask/fins that I believe are also aqualung (but that doesn’t matter too much). I also got a nice computer for my wrist to go with it all. It’s an Oceanic Geo 2. I spent about $1500 on the whole setup- and am disappointed in myself that I haven’t used it at all pretty much.
I did 3 dives with this equipment (maybe 2) back in 2016. From then, it has all sat in my closet. It is air conditioned so that’s good. But it is lightly dusty.
I am assuming this whole setup- regulators and BCD— is going to need a service. But I just want to make sure. It’s not shot, is it? With a proper service it should be fine?
I live in South Florida and want to get back into diving as I just finished school, but also need a dive partner or two as none of my friends are certified- and I really don’t want to go alone. I’d also probably need a little refresher.
Thanks for any input!
