Aloha,
Headed to Maui in two weeks and am hoping to go on 3-4 dives. I've toyed with the idea of buying a full set of scuba gear but unfortunately, I'm mostly a once-a-year (at best) vacation diver which I don't think justify the costs. After looking at the websites of most dive operators in Maui, it looks like I'll need to rent equipment for every dive. Given this, I'm thinking of buying at least a mask, snorkel, and fins and then renting everything else.
I live in the Bay Area and am wondering if those items would be cheaper to buy here? Or if I should just wait and buy them in Maui (where they're moderately priced to begin with)?
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
