We are new to buying equipment. A local dive shop is having an anniversary sale (20% off) and I found the following price for a package:
Sherwood Solaris (or Axis) BCD
Aqualung Titan LX regulator
Aqualung ABS octo
Suunto 2 gauge console
Price: $886
This looks like a great price to us, what do you think? The 20% off is only this weekend and it looks like the same equipment is about $583 at another local shop.
I am thinking about replacing the Aqualung ABS octo with the Aqualung Calypso/Titan model, which may add a small amount. Any recommendations?
Also, for about $300 more you can add the Suunto Vyper computer console. I haven't really looked at computers yet so I am not sure about this one. I am leaning toward waiting to decide what I really want but my husband is considering it.
Finally, the Solaris BCD felt really comfortable but I have never been diving with a BC without a cumberbun (spelling?). Now that I am home, I don't remember it having one. Has anyone ever regretted not having one or missed it?
Thanks for any and all input and recommendations.
