First off, I've been certified for several years, but for different reasons (location, mild college-induced poverty), I haven't been able to get into diving. I'm in grad school now, and still fairly poor, but I moved from Dallas to Tampa, so diving is much more accessible now.
I've got a line on some used gear, and I was wondering if this sounded like a decent deal or if I might as well try to get something newer off Ebay. It's a Sherwood Magnum II regulator and a Sherwood Minimus octo, plus a Suunto Companion Computer. It's about 4 years old, but the guy says it hasn't been used much, and he's asking $250. I've done a little research and it seems like an alright deal, but a review on the computer said it was pretty much limited to no stop dives. I don't know that much about computers vs. guages and how much of an advantage they really are (especially a basic one like this one), and I'm not sure about paying anything for a setup I'll want to replace really soon. I do have a boyfriend I'm trying to get certified though, so if I outgrow thiss stuff I can hand it down to him.
Anyone have any input on this deal?
