While I was searching equipment I was just going through mental calculations about the price of certain items while not getting a package and what the total would be, and a few questions arose: Is $100.00 a reasonable price for fins? (The Mares avanti Superchannel is what I was comparing to).
What is a good dive console that would 'fit' a $1,200 budget meaning is not that expensive?
What is a price to expect on a 'used' BCD (as you recommended) that is reasonable? (Of course I havent actually dove yet but I like the Mares Prestige from what I read and price wise).
It might all just be making an expensive impression to me because when I was looking at packages I found one at Leisure Pro which had a 2 gauge console, Mares Prestige, Reg bag, Mares Prestige Octo, and mares ranger primary as well as all hoses and first stage all for $550.00, (Mares Package #1) which would enable me to buy/own more equipment but it would be less customized... Basically it seems if buy everything separately I cant afford as much as my own equipment...
Lastly, another coldwater reg that was fairly cheap was the OMS line regs, are they also good?
OMS octo: OMS Downstream Octopus
OMS Primary: OMS Din Regulator
(The primary looks a little cheap but I just want some opinion/advice on the these questions above)
(As always) THANK YOU!
