I have been planning on purchasing my full setup for 2 years now and am ready to buy. Many people are saying that i am overpaying though.
this is what I want to buy: All scuba pro gear= mk25/a700 , The new hydros pro bcd that came out with air2, and the galileo luna. The total is almost 3000$
Th reason I was going to stick to scuba pro is because they have lots of platinum dealers and are well established. Their gear is also all handmade and assembled in italy. Sport Diver magazine and scuba lab mention scuba pro always. SO they sound like they have excellent quality.
I am also very interested in the free parts for life program (you have to buy the full setup to get it).
Some people are tellling me I could save money by mixing gear or going to websites. To be honest I don't trust leisure pro because they aren't a certified dealer for any of the stuff they sell.
I think that if I mix scuba pro with other brands I could run into issues that scuba pro won't be willing to solve.
Do you guys think that it's better to stick with one brand for a unison performance, or would it be best for me to save money and mix different brands to make the cost cheaper?
BTW I am a vacation diver, but I would like to explore NJ waters. Also, I don't like deep diving or technical diving, and I'm not interested in a wing setup because it doesn't seem comfortable and it is meant for tech divers. I'm PADI advanced certified and nitrox certified in case you guys needed to know.
