Currently debating whether or not to buy my first regulator. Here is my situation in a nutshell: I'm relatively new (2 years/15 dives) but definitely plan on doing it regularly. However it will always be in a vacation situation, and Im guessing i'll never be much more than a 15-30 dives a year type of person. It will probably almost always be in warm-ish Carribbean water. The main motivation for me would be to have confidence in how it is maintained for safety reasons. I'm not really worried about comfort, etc as I've always found rental gear fine in that department. Currently I own a computer, mask, fins. If I do end up buying, i'll want to buy new, but keep it as reasonable as possible (which seems to translate to $300-500 from what i've seen so far?).
Looking for any advice on a) buy vs. keep renting, given my situation and b) any tips/suggestions on buying, if that's the verdict.
