What did you buy that you regret?

A XS Scuba BC, Seaquest Balance BC and Oceanic Chute 3 BC... Wish I had gotten my Halcyon setup the first time round...

Yellow split fins......no one told me when I bought them that they were 'yummy yellow':11:

Console. Switched to a UWATEC wireless wrist unit, and it is great. Only have to pair with the wireless unit once. The SmartTrak software is also far superior to what I was using.

Like almost everyone else, I've dumped the snorkel (except when the dive boat told us we needed one down on the Speigel Grove down in Florida).

Now, that's interesting! Do you mind sharing which operator told you that a snorkel was required / needed on a Grove dive?

I bought the "dumb Stupid Lights" the big alkaline battery ones...3 total...before I got the big Can light (HID) and now the small can light (HID)...and that is what I tell new divers. Wait to buy the gear you can grow into as a diver and REALLY avoid buying your gear twice or three times.

I regret that I bought a wing for a single tank when I had a perfectly good traditional BCD. I gave in to bashing by DIR divers and got the single-tank backplate and wing, when I really didn't need that for a single tank.

I like my BP/W for doubles, but I had to buy another wing for double tanks.

Pray tell so we can avoid them like AquaLung gear and the metric system

Same guys you hang around now, that have gone to solo and other nondir diving, yet you still need to lash out for no reason. Why dont you come join me for a dive some time.
