Yep, It is the prices that vary so much. That worries me. I hate when I go out a spend $500 or more on something and then someone says to me "I got something twice as good for Half as much" I just hate getting Ripped Off and being a Sucker. Man, I work Hard for my money. and I just like to make Good Informed Intelligent decisions, when I spend it.
And i do not want any Deep6 (Costs To Much)stuff either.
See? We are already getting into a wide assortment of opinions. Something else to think about is are you really going to dive on a regular basis or will you buy gear that winds up collecting dust?

I can not seem to get a general consensus on the best manufacturer or model of equipment to get??
I just want to spend my hard earned money properly. Have the equipment work properly, and get a lot of use out of it. I see dive packages for sale but most have a dive computer included, and I already spent $300 on a new Suunto Zoop. Can anyone help me. And i do not want any Deep6 (Costs To Much)stuff either.

Apeks regs are the bee's knees here on the right (yeah, I know, bad pun) side of the pond. They're rock solid, and most - if not all - of their 1st stages are diaphragm sealed and suitable for cold water. However, I have the impression that they're a bit on the expensive side - both WRT buying price and service costs - on your side. So if I were located on the West side of the pond, I'd probably look at a suitable reg from e.g. ScubaPro. Or AquaLung.I like AquaLung and Apeks for regs.
