Sorry, Austin... If you dive much in the Caribbean, you're going to see lots and lots of ratty old dive gear that's held together with duct tape and wire ties. New gear is NICE -- Don't get me wrong, but man, there are people out there who look like Christmas trees... I'm the first person, (as someone with less than a hundred dives, myself) to lend someone a hand. I am, by no means, "elite." The signs of a new diver are, most often, good for a grin, but we all gotta' start somewhere. I don't think anyone is running down new divers, here. Just having a bit of a good-natured chuckle. Nothing malicious.
