While it's a poor workman that blames his tools, it is even an poorer workman that has no tools to begin with. Get some tools dude!

I keep hearing this analogy but it's flawed. A great many workers of all levels are not required to bring their own tools. They get that from the workplace. It's only when you go solo that you have to have all your own.
What rubs me is when dive shops see DM's et al as consumers not professionals.
Still, as an active diver, I want to own all my own gear. Going the PRO route would basically mean I become part of the machine and stop diving for the sake of diving.
