How much should I pay for SCUBA equipment?
Some buddies and I are looking to take a 6 month dive master training expedition in Mexico. I already have mask, snorkel, gloves, boots, and fins...
But how much should I pay for
-BC
-wetsuit
-regulator
-dive computer.
Where should I shop?... Used vs. new? Ballpark prices?
Please share your thoughts.
I would avoid used unless you know the seller. Many scuba items need to have regular maintenance whether the diver completes the maintenance or a professional does it. Without being comfortable with the maintenance history, I would assume that they were poorly maintained.
BCD - about $500
Wetsuit - for a 3mm full suit, about $200
Regulator - for a first stage, two second stages, and a pressure gauge I would say about $1,000
Dive computer - depends on how fancy you get, but my wrist mounted one was about $300.
I would suggest buying the items from a dive shop. For the BCD and wetsuit, fit is everything. Plus, if you go to a dive shop looking to purchase all four items, they might be able to offer you a good package deal.
