Rent your gear for at least the first year. You’ll save money in the long run by learning what you need and want for dive gear the first purchase. Thats if your still diving in another year. You also don’t know what type of diving your going to do. Cold/Warm water. Shallow/Deep. Overhead enviroment/Open water. Recreational dive trips/Recreational Deco. dives. The gear all works great but only for the conditions it was made for. HAPPY DIVING!
