Hello All-
This is my first post here so I would like to set a few things up since I have read the past three pages on BC's and don't want to waste anyone's time, or Troll, or incite etc.
1) I have about 100 dives.
2) I have dove in N.E. (usa) Mexico, Aruba, Bora Bora, Hawaii
3) I have never taken dive safety seriously for which I am horribly ashamed- Started when I was in Highschool, and treated it like snorkeling... only cooler.
That being said, I am an avid diver and have committed to safety this season and every season forward. (I realize that it was stupid)
So that all being said I need some ans, for those who have not clicked away in disgust.
A: I mainly dive for Lobster now in Gloucester, Ma. I am looking to buy a BC. Tried to understand what all this talk about BP/wings vs. Jacket etc. and couldn't- just not enuff exp. I use my brothers stuff, check the air and over I go. (I am certified)
Looking for the best mid price range(200-300) bc for about 20 dives a summer as well as a first stage.
B:Ebay has sets for like 500$, are these any good?
C:Is it smart to buy used Equip?
Sorry for the long post,
Norr
