No offense, I don't think I'd dive a set of regs that cost $200 for the 1st & two 2nd stages and gauges. There's bargains to be had but not at that budget. Hell, the hoses along could cost half the budget. As was said....save your money. Good luck with your search but set realistic goals. Furthermore, be productive with your posts (i.e. more than hoping for the deal of the century). You have two on this thread. Start contributing to the other forums, dive with some people you meet on here, etc. That's how I started and got my first computer and tank at a BARGAIN from a dive buddy I met on here. If I hadn't already been a dive buddy, that bargain wouldn't have been so good.

Thank you to everyone for the advice. All great information and I am looking into and trying to use all of
it. After talking with my wife, we will probably go with the HOG setups in a month or so. And I think I
may have offended someone with my post after receiving a message a little bit ago with this line in it.
"Furthermore, be productive with your posts (i.e. more than hoping for the deal of the century). You

To this person I am very sorry to have offended you or anyone else for that matter, but I do believe that this
thread has been very productive in my decision making about this and I don't think I would be the only one
to feel as such after receiving such great input. If there is something I need to do to rectify any
ills I may have done on here with this thread I certainly want to do it for I intend to use these forums quite
a lot in the future if allowed. Thanks again to all those who provided positive and informative comments and
please let me know if I've done something wrong. Thank you.

You haven't done anything wrong. You just joined the forum, probably just discovered it. My first post here years ago was a question regarding Arizona dive sites. After that I just lurked for a while trying to learn the forum before I started posting a lot. It's okay to lurk and learn the community.

There is a reg setup right now on the classifieds for a 100!!!

Let's not overlook the obvious: that diving is an inherently expensive sport. Regulators are probably the most important piece of equipment (insofar as quality is required and concerned). It's better to not dive than it is to force diving to happen on such a limited budget and potentially buy a piece of gear that's less than safe. While I don't think you need to mortgage your home to participate; today your limitation is on regulators, tomorrow it may be on servicing, then who knows what other corner you may cut. Please dive safely with quality equipment that works so you can continue to post and contribute and, of course, dive!

If you buy a well known reg set like the us divers conshelf...after they are serviced... and servicing is around 25...what risk is involved if you paid 100 or a 1000??? I paid under 50 on ebay for a us divers conshelf reg set..had em serviced and was under a 100 for MY life support. deals are there..he originally said he has someone to service for him, and he is on a limited budget..he knows life is involved....I dont think he is cutting corners..just mho. Not trying to bash or rant...But I have been in his shoes since the day I got certified 20 yrs ago.

As others have stated you can get a top quality Reg set from "HOG" for about the 1/3 price of other brands and still have all the features/performance and it will be new. Contact either "Mike" from Dive Right In Scuba | Plainfield scuba diving lessons and scuba equipment. We also provide scuba certification for the Chicago area. or
"Randy" from Piranha Dive Mfg. They will both work out a great deal for you I am sure.
