ok...so im new to scuba diving and i know im beggining to sound like a broken record, but im going to africa in febuary, im 18 years old, and have limited cash flow... i have been searching around to buy my own scuba stuff... and i went on this website scuba.com. and found a package for about 600 bucks that falls right in my price range that i am ABLE (and let me emphisize that) to spend...now i understand that scuba gear is not something you want to skimp out on because it is a life support system... however i got scolded:no (and i mean scolded) by my local dive shop, telling me that nothing good can come of it, and that it was probably all knock off gear, and that there would be no warranty, and than when i told him that i was sure that the gear came with a full warranty, he than said "well you would have to find someplace to survice it" and my resposne was "you sell oceanic gear... couldnt you service it? and he responded with "quite frankly if some guy came in here and bought the stuff on the internet, saved a whole bunch of cash and had a warranty, id tell him to go ******* himself"...the guy was kind of a jerk, he was trying to tell me that i HAVE to buy a at least a aqualung legend, otherwise im to cheap for scuba diving...which of course makes me feel like crap because i work harder than that snot nosed little pr!ck does every day working construction. if i could afford to spend more i would because i really like scuba diving, i just dont have 1500 bucks to drop on scuba gear right now in my life.
so i checked the website again, and i was right the gear was covered under full warranty...
here's a list of what i wanted to get to start out...and be honest with me, tell me what you think and what you know about any of this gear, and even check out the warranty link and tell me if you think its ledgit,
