[Choose #2] Don’t force divers to throw down all this $coin$. The classes and instructors time costs enough for some. However dive gear is a great investment IF you USE IT!

[Choose #2] Ok, I picked #2 because I just went through AOW and Dive Rescue. I changed B/C & computer. Also thinking of buying other gear because of things I learned in the classes. I have heard that most people really into diving have 2 or 3 setups anyway.

[Choose #3] especially when it comes to computers... best to test drive then buy
|
|
|
[Choose #1] You should have built up enough experience prior to starting an AOW course that you’ve begun to acquire your own equipment.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I don’t understand why more LDS’s don’t have trial nights in the pool.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Advanced divers should have their own stuff. Diving is a process, and rentals create too much variation within that process.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I fell in love with the gear i was trained in and bought it accordingly. I dont like what my new LDS carries and dont purchase their main gear. I rent from them to test out newer stuff and like having the option before spending the $, peace of mind

|
[Choose #3] I think through AOW, equipement should be provided. If it’s not and I’m a new diver, I may not make the call to continue my education.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Divers taking classes other than OW should either have their own or pay for rentals
|
|
|
[Choose #3] The cost of good reliable gear is so high that a diver should be able to rent the gear before buying to be sure it fits his/her needs. Too many new divers purchase gear that is either unnecessary, ill fitted or inadequit for the diving they will do.
