My son (16) and I are currently looking at getting certified and we want to buy the basic personal gear and the reg. We don't like the thought of putting in a mouthpiece that someone else has used so we want to at least purchase our regulator as well. We've gone to 4 different dive shops and everyone has a different opinion and carry different gear. I was certified (guess I still am) 32 years ago but haven't been in the water for the last 29 years. Boy have things changed! Back in the day ScubaPro was pretty much the king on most gear (at least that was my dads opinion), is that still true?
Looking for a quality regulator at a price I can afford. Considering our lives may depend on them I don't want to scrimp on quality but I'm poor so I have to consider cost for sure. We'll be diving in Texas and the Carribean. If you had to choose between 3 regs, which would they be?
I couldn't find the JetFin at any of the shops, though they told me I could order them. I loved that fin, but they tell me the "new technology" has made them obsolete. Is the split fins really that much better? They all looked the same to me. The ScubaPro "split" JetFin was recommended by two shops, but another told me there are other fins that are just as good, but not as pricey. Any thoughts?
