From oceanfloor: I had a shop tell me that for my first class, I would have to buy the mask, fins, snorkel, and dive tool (knife).
I kind of agree with the mask part, just because peoples faces are so different. I think a poor fitting, leaky rental mask would suck. Especially when you’re a new diver. Lots of dive shops require a mask, fins and snorkel, but that’s the first time I heard of a dive knife. That’s a bit of a stretch. I started out with a $35 mask/fins/snorkel set off of ebay, and I wouldn’t expect a new diver to come in and drop a couple hundred bucks on a set just to learn how to dive.
