New Diver

[davidofaustin]

I think I can help with the gear issue. I picked up on a couple of key points....

My husband manages a water sports place on St John so I can get wholesale prices from some companies. Right now I can get wholesale from trident and dacor.

As a proffesional diver,, a PADI DiveMaster, I think I can help with this terrible problem. Just let me know when I can expect room and board - uhh - for my professional evaluation, (of course), and also, when you can arrange the airfare to get me there.

I will be able to display a few different items of dive gear for you, and will be happy to personally test any gear that you feel I should ---- uhhh, for the saftey of your customers of course....


I know the sacrifice on my part is great, but I am a very friendly person, and sacrifice is just one my humble abilities.....

Welcome from a snow bound northerner!

I have some Dacor gear and it is fine, even better if you can get wholesale!

Enjoy,
Dave

Welcome to the board..!

My best advice for purchase of equipment for now is to ask your instructor what would be best for your location and you.

Since you've been attending all the couses and more, I doubt it if he/she will apply the sales talk on you.

Should you still have problems deciding after that, start a new post on equipment advice. I am sure lot's out there can give you a hand.

Happy diving..!

I've got 13 dives under my belt and want to go for at least Dive Master in the next couple months. SO, of course I want my own equipment. My husband manages a water sports place on St John so I can get wholesale prices from some companies. Right now I can get wholesale from trident and dacor. I don't know that I want all Dacor stuff...doesn't seem like the best quality stuff but for a start might be good. DH has to order from Dacor this week and if we can get our total order up to $1K I can get a free Classic Reg. Any thoughts on what I should get with Dacor? I thought the Viper looked cool but after reading about it it doesn't seem to be a favorite with anyone. I have no idea on BC's. My parents have Zeagle and say Dacor is no good with the hardpack, then again I've only used rental gear and so I'm not picky YET.

Look forward to hearing everyones input and reading this board!

Welcome aboard tjp! I can honestly say you have picked one of the most perfect places to live. I know I would certainly like to be there full time! But alas I missed the Texas Lotto by only 6 numbers on Saturday. I was so darn close too
