Well considering I got my c-card earlier this year, here's my list:

Zeagle Brigade BC
Neo Sport 7mm wetsuit, w/ Henderson 5/3 hooded vest and Aqualung 5mm gloves and booties, the usual
Scubapro Jet Sport blade fins (originally had SP Jets but they hurt my feet so returned them)
Oceanic Delta IV FDX regulator with DVT and Viper octo
Oceanic Pro Plus 2.1 PDC, with compass
DAN 6ft SMB and reel
Zeagle QD pouch for said DAN SMB
2x Dorcy 220 lumen dive lights

And just today I put in my order for:

Pinnacle Evolution 2 Dry suit with SiTech dry gloves and p-valve
Data cable for my Pro Plus 2.1
and finally a mesh bag to carry all my damn stuff in!

Seriously looking forward to getting my drysuit!
 
I bought a steel HP 119 and a DUI weight harness. I got the steel HP 119 because I wanted it, and the weight harness because I want to take weight off the BC.

I plan on getting another steel HP 119, a new mask, and some new gloves.

Update--I bought the additional steel HP 119, my new mask came in yesterday, and I got the new gloves. I also picked up a UEMIS Zurich from DRIS when they were on sale in August--there was no way I was going to miss that deal!

I think I'm done for this year.

-- finally I found somebody who is using SP Jet Sport: I would like to ask you comments and opinion on SP Jet Sport. I'm thinking of buying one for myself but I want to hear from people who have actually used it.
Thanks
 
I finished my OW in August so I just outfitted myself with everything.
My list of gear:

Aeris Atmos XT Bcd,
Atomic Z2X regulator set
Aeris Gyro octo
Aeris Atmos ai console computer

I also got all of the odds ends to dive with....wetsuit gear, lights etc.......
Dive trip in two weeks to put it all to use......I cant wait :D
 
12L steel tank :D

now i can dive without hiring anything! wohoo!
 
4 x secondhand 12L Steel Tanks

What can I say?

It was a deal, it was a steal, in fact it was sale of the f###ing century!! :cool2:
 
I just bought a Pinnacle 3mm Venture. It fits great, especially for an inexpensive suit.

Very recommended.

I've also bought a second hand Oceanic Probe LX which should arrive tomorrow. :D
 
hmmmp, gave myself a Halcyon infinity and an oxycheck titanium knife and a hood as replacement for the old one which starts to fall apart.
 
Kiss Classic Rebreather (#408), 3 faber 3 liter steel cylinders, Tiger Gear mounting brackets, second 40cuft bailout bottle, second 80cuft bailout bottle, Shearwater Predator computer, OMS Slipstream fins. I'm sure there's more but can't think what at the moment.
