Good for you Steve. As Jay said, be prepaired to spend a couple of bucks. Don't tell the wife or girl friend how much it costs.........
If you go Tech. its a bundle, if you go the Padi way its a bundle ?? Tread the water and take it slowly, and when you get fifty dives under your weight belt then look at what you want to do next. This forum carries all types of certified divers, so ask questions, and kept breathing !! Cheers Kevin |

I know exactly what everyone means, all i keep thinking about is my next dive, and my next purchase, but that will be a while yet, I'm married with 3 little kids so the fact that my accountant (wife) has let me get a complete set of gear and wetsuit is plenty for me right now........but an extra tank and a computer wouldn't hurt!!!
I'm looking forward to diving in the canal next week. Now to try and convince my wife to start diving |

Hmmm, might want to think about that for a bit! (i.e. shed-loads of cash, multiply by two,....) I almost sh*t when I paid the weekend's charter/gas/motel fees for me and the missus on Osprey last year....

Think of all the money you just saved!!!
Check with the local (St. Catharines) dive shops to see what they have for computers and bottles. Check this forum to see when there are people going out for a dive. K. |

Steve,
Quick tip...Instead of investing in a computer that you don`t really need...Try a simple bottom timer... http://www.scubapro.com/americas/eng...al-depth-gauge These devices show all the info you really need on a dive and can be purchased for less then $200...I often see them for sale used for little more then $100... If you really think about it, depth, max depth, time is all you really need...these gauges give you all of the above and cheaper then a `puter....Its costs a lot of bucks to get into diving, so saving some here in there with smart purchases really helps... |
