Hello All, I have been diving about 3 years and have always rented gear. I want to take the next step and buy some equipment. I am thinking bcd, reg, octo, and computer to start. I have been to my lds and honestly don't feel comfortable with the pricing they are giving me. I would love to support them but a Mares package they put together for me came out $390 more than what I can get it for on Leisure Pro. I typically make between 10-25 dives per year. This may increase slightly as I am going to get some other certifications, although I don't see myself doing anything technical. Typically diving in Caribbean or local quarry and don't tend dive if water is less than 50 degrees. Anybody have good advice for me to purchase some gear. Like I said, I don't necessarily trust my local shop and feel like they are just trying to make a sale so will have to rely on my research and forums such as this. Air integrated computer or not? I'm not trying to break the bank but at the same time want quality that will last me years to come and grow. Preferably would like to stay in the 1000-1500 range. Thanks for the help!
