Brandnew2Scuba:the most experienced diver I know in the real world has been diving for 30 years with hundreds of dives logged and has never bought a single piece of equipment .
rongoodman:trying to rent would completely alter my equipement set-up, since no one locally rents steel tanks, BP/W, or drysuits.
You know you're a scuba addict when... your next choice of automobile is heavily influenced by how divegear-friendly it will be!Dive-aholic:The wife and I bought all our gear a month before our checkout dives. We did the checkouts in brand new stuff. We bought tanks a few months later. We just got tired of running to the shop (almost an hour away) every time we wanted to go diving. Now we own several different set ups including over 25 tanks, a compressor, several regulators, a few bp/w's, several lights, scooters, wetsuits, dry suits, and on and on. And let's not forget the big van to carry everything in!
