Dive Equipment Package

I have a friend that is looking at buying a package deal online and I really don't know anything about the gear there. I figured that this is the best place to post and get responses on what you all think about the gear in that package.

Genesis Back Inflate Mens Cold Water Scuba Gear Package - Online Scuba Gear

Any info you can give me will be appreciated!!!

Thanks

I really don't know much about Genesis, other than that they make good gauges.. I have Heard really bad reviews about their Regulators, and BCD Inflator problems.. But although I am not sure of your type of diving/budget I can reccomend some highly reptuable gear for a cold water diver kit: Dive Rite Transpac, and Venture, or Rec Wing, Dive Rite Nitek Trio Computer (Oceanic, and Uwatec make good comps too!), Atomic Aquatics M1, T2x, or Z2x Regulators are superb performers as well as Apeks ATX 200, 100, Mares Abyss, and ScubaPro A700 Regulators are great too!
