Either the one where my wife fell in love with diving or my last one where we were ran over by a freighter losing the boat, all gear and a business.
Both are seriously big ticket, one was worth the price of admission.

My most expensive dives to date was the most recent trip to Florida. Planned on doing 22 cave dives and ended up only being able to do 8. Cost of flights, car rental, gas fills and house we rented means each dive was about $800... COVID resulted in British Airways changing our flights to an earlier return via Dublin instead of direct as we had booked and paid for. Oh, and add to that the £160 taxi trip from Heathrow to Gatwick so we could pick up the car (and house keys that were in the car...)
Other than that the time one of my buddies introduced my wife to the delights of diving on a rebreather. That ended up in two brand new RedBares being purchased. Still. once we can get the crossover from OC Cave to CCR Cave completed I reckon that will have been worth it.
In a word...Awesome. I don't have much to compare it with to be fair but the thing is bulletproof. The only time I have missed a dive is 1) Because I forgot my drysuit at home (thought I had packed it in the truck...) and 2) Because I did not charge the unit properly the night before and had to sit out the first dive while it was charging.How is the RedBare?

I have also had an O2 cell fail on me and it took about 2 mins to get a new one sorted and installed. Can't really blame that on the unit though.
Other than that absolutely ZERO issues and it is great to have two independent computers with completely independent data paths as well as a CO2 monitor. The HUD is simple and intuitive as well. If you haven't had a go yet I can highly recommend getting into the water on a try-dive with one.
