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? ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

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? ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

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 ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |
