Want to buy a recreational scuba setup for my girlfriend including regs, hoses, tank, buoyancy, spg, etc... We are in Atlanta, GA but travel often to North Florida. Thanks!

What is your projected budget?
My son and I both ordered the Divers Supply cheapest package, and upgraded to the balanced Covert regulator and 3 guage (compass) console. I got upgraded to the Edge Element BCD because they were out of my size in the SeaElite Scout BCD -- I confirmed the BCDs are identical (made from same pattern) except the Edge has a couple more metal D-rings and has a metal tank cam buckel (which you can buy for $20 on their website if you want to switch for the Scout's velcro strap, but the velcro works fine).I priced out a brand new Dive Rite Backplate / Wing / Regs / LP85 setup at around $1600 and there is an el cheapo setup one can get (https://www.divers-supply.com) with an AL80 for $600. So if we can get a used pro setup for somewhere closer to the el cheapy price we will probably jump.
