I went to a local dive shop today to sign up for my cert. I really like the environment and the instructor I spoke with. I didn't even have to ask questions they were right on the ball. But they wanna sell me some very expensive equipment. Here is a list of the equipment they want to sell me, I need you guys to help me since I was set on buying used.
SubaPro MK25/S600 Regulator
ScubaPro Air2 Alternative air source and inflator
ScubaPro NIGHTHAWK BCD
ScubaPro Aladin Prime wrist mount Computer
Now they will make a package for $1000.00. BUT the package will only include Regulator, BCD W/O Alternative Air source, this will be a $125.00 upgrade, If I decide to go with the Aladine Prime 3 Gauge console that will be and additional $125.00 upgrade Other wise they will include the wrist mount computer in the package. No fins, Mask, Snorkel, Wet Suite, Weights, Nor tank. If I do all upgrades through them it will cost me a total of Approx $1300.00 Just for my bcd setup. What do you think I should do. Also the bcd they are trying to sell me they said would work in warm water or cold water, They said not many bcd's do. I want all my gear to be able to work warm and cold. I will be a recrreational diver and doing some wrecks. Also they said if I buy all scuba pro their will be a lifetime warranty on everything. What do you think. And remeber If I go with them I will be taking my OW cert and Advance Cert. What do you think, me personally they can work on the price, since I can get the same stuff on line with tank, fins, mask, snorkel, wet suite, for a little under 1500.00
