Hello to everyone and thanks for the great info. First I apologize if this is a little long, but I have a few questions. I have read tons of information and opinions and am getting ready to lay down some hard earned cash. I live in the midwest, but make several trips a year to areas that have great diving. I've finished my open water and desire to have my own equipment, but feel somewhat uncomfortable with my inexperience making the decision without further info. I have tried the following during my pool dives and 1st open waters and used rental equipment on a recent trip to the Grenadines and found rental equipment lacking. Based on my geographical location I don't forsee venturing into the realm of extreme technical diving, but I have a great desire to further my experience as a recreational diver. My lds can get anything I want and is able to service about any brand. In talking to the owner, his staff of instructors and my experience during my training I have asked for a quote on the following. Finally, I'm asking for any other suggestions, comments and advice on the following and the price. I really want to support my lds and they double the labor on the manufacturers warranty, but don't want to get put over the preverbiable barrel because they're the only one in town.
