In agreement with the others. Buy your gear, especialy the important stuff like regs. Buying your own you get to know your local shop and know the guy fixing it and servicing it. Don’t skimp either, spend the money on quality regs, afterall this is what keep you alive under water, its worth it. A BC try some different styles, and buying a used BC is a good idea to save some cash. I prefer a harness system like the Scubapro night/lady hawk, or a wing and backplate. These will help keep you more horizontal in the water. I personaly use a Dive Rite Harness with wing, and regs I use scubapro MK 25 with the s600 second stage.
