I am very new to the hobby myself, but I've recently just got through with buying my initial equipment. That is octo,two tanks,bc, wet suit,gloves,boots etc. The total cost came to about 3 grand. I don't know, but as far as hobby's go, 3 grand for equipment isn't really too bad.

Somewhere between $150 and $1,500.

I realize that sounds flippant but it really depends on what you want. My reg Mares Proton Metal) cost $399 my daughters (Mares Proton) cost $198. My BC $399 Zeagle Brigade (Scubatoys.com exclusive) Octo's cost $84 (Proton Octo) I use a computer $599 (Aeris Atmos AI) whereas my daughter uses analog gauges $99

Of course there are regs out there that go for over $1,000. My advice, although others will criticize me for "not supportting my LDS" is to go to Scubatoys.com or scuba.com. Both of these sights are authorized dealers and you will get a full manufacturer's warranty. I saved over $1,000 on the above setups.

BTW, I paid less than $3,000 for TWO complete setups at ScubaToys.com
