Wow, boy can I make up a list... here goes:
SeaQuest Balance BCD... junk w/ no resale value. Went with BP/W instead
soft-soled booties (I do a lot of shore/spring dives!)
integrated inflator/reg combo - goes with BCD above
snorkel - required to get OW cert. at the time, but stays at home now
Here's what I managed to get right, when I was just getting started:
bought a used set of AL regs from eBay & had them serviced
low-volume mask that fits right... still use it today
HP100 worthington tanks for my hoover-self, makes group diving better so I don't turn everyone's dive too early
