So, I officially have started scuba diving (class).  I do the first dive monday.  I have a good mask, open foot fins, boots, and snorkel.  I need/want a BCD, regulator, tank, and diving knife, anyone have any suggestions on what I should get?

Also, does anyone else here dive?

Dont bother buying a tank.

All you need to dive is a BCD, Regulator, Mask, Snorkle, Fins, and possibley a wetsuit (personal preference).

And honestly, what are you going to use the knife for?

I might need one eventually, and I get like a 10% student discount on stuff and there is a decent knife at the shop for $40

K, its cheaper and safer to just rent tanks.  You dont have to do maintence, hydrotest them, or fill them.

And once again, why do you need a knife?

Such as?

And if you dive you know the purpose of the knife is not to bust out your ninja knife skills on a couple of fish

Well, I haven't even thought about that...maybe I don't really need one.
