My first BC, a TUSA X-pert, lasted for over 500 dives before replacing it with the same that did not last as long

Mares MR12 Mk III reg that I used as my main reg for over 700 dives before replacing with a Mares Abyss about 10 years ago

My Mares 5mm semi dry that has been wonderful to dive in over the past 12 years, and still fits me

My prescription dive masks win hands down. Nothing beats seeing the small stuff.

Well, I was going to say my first Nikonos V underwater camera...went 17 years before it finally got a flood through a worn out synch cord.


I'll amend that to prescription mask too ... and since I'm nearsighted, I'll amend the statement to "nothing beats being able to see a warmwater reef" <g>.

Following up with another view from the visually challenged, I'd say the best money I've spent so far has been on a OTS Guardian full face mask with communicator. It is just plain awesome. To top it all off, since I can't see a thing without my glasses (and do have a couple of regular masks with prescription inserts), OTS makes a lens frame insert for the Guardian, so you can have lenses made to fit.

Ahem, hemorrhage ...

Guess I had a google spell check fail. Thx for the catch.

I just keep thinking of items - First Regs: My $25 garage sale MK-10 w/ 2 SP 109's

my dive computer that keep me safer and my compass that help me know where i was... but money spent of scuba is good money spent

The best money I spent of scuba gear was a second hand Dacor 900 reg set that I bought 2 years ago to Dsenloe. Rock solid, almost new and dependable.

Overall: Otter Brittanic superskin drysuit. Got a killer deal on it slightly used.

Bang for the buck: BP/W hands down.

I love it all (well most of it), but the gauge reader mask has got to be the best money spent.
