i was being facetious regarding his post but if money was no object then yes, i would buy a rebreather. i could do that 40 minute beach dive and then 3 more after that without having to get an air fill or even switch tanks. they are a lot of maintenence but they are cool enough to be worth it
I'm very happy with all my dive gear... wouldn't change a thing. I might buy a few extras of my favorite BCD (the SP X-Tek) since they are no longer made. However, I'd put the money into more dive trips... oh, and an HD video cam, housing and lights!

Toadfish. Splendid is implied but not guaranteed.
Hmm. Based on the thread title, I was all set to answer "an island."

GOLDEN SHADOW Length: 219'0"; Year: 1995
Saudi Arabias Prince Khaled also owns this rugged-looking, blue-hulled vessel, the middle sister in his Golden Fleet. Shes the logistical support yacht of the trio and has a specially designed elevator at the stern to launch Golden Eye, the ten-seat turboprop plane, as well as other craft, like a 38-foot, Fabio Buzzi-designed RIB. Shes also thoroughly outfitted for diving, complete with a decompression chamber; trained medical staff are always onhand for dives as well.

I made a few mistakes in buying because of price. So lately, I've been buying to my requirements. In a regulator, I wanted a good breather at depth and a dry breather inverted as I often invert to peer under something or take a photo. I also wanted local support and service so I chose Apeks which met all of my requirements. That's how I plan to shop for everything in the future: find the item that fits my requirements even though it may be initially expensive. I save in the long run not buying equipment I don't like or use.
I think I could go pretty hog wild with camera equipment.

Transportation for to dive locations....
BMW roadster with trailer for all dive gear and camping gear.
Brand new deisel truck with camper in bed, with of course dive gear storage. trailer with electric compressor that uses batteries that recharge when vehicle is running.
Regal 3880 with twin deisels and rigged for diving or possibly a 4260
boston whaler 24' montauk plenty of room for 4 divers on short trips.
Dive gear
those brand new T2 atomic regs are nice
bcd...a couple set up for different scenarios
dui trilam and compressed neoprene suits
scooter
possibly get into rebreathers.
Become an instructor so I could shave the diving world with people who wanted to learn but can't afford the costs.
a house on islamorada or in the fl keys. A house on the lakes in TN.
A rancher home in the middle of the mountains that is self sufficient

well if money was no object I would have to get an Oroboros... or maybe a Meg.
But if we are talking open circuit - perhaps the top of the line Zeagle Flathead regulator. I have a oxycheq wing and hammerhead backplate and dont see changing that. I still love my plana avanti fins which I purchased in 1988. However I might get a VR3 color screen computer with trimix capabilities and closed circuit capabilities.

Realistically?
A mint Royal Aquamaster, with one of the new nozzles installed. A little compressor for the garage. And a Hammerhead backplate to go with my double 45s. And a nice kayak.
Amusing?
An island, or a plot of land off of the Gulf. Aqualung, the company. A 45' catamaran outfitted for blue water cruising, with an onboard compressor and a fully stocked repair bench.
