Any scuba divers here? Need some advise, want to get into the sport.

3. $500 to $600 sounds REALLY expensive but I guess I took my classes like 20 or 30 years ago.

Scuba diving is the most incredible thing you will ever do. It's like going to a different planet and it is different everywhere you go. I lived about an hour from Monterey Bay in California so mostly, I dove there but I have been diving from Peugeot sound to Catalina to Cozumel to Hawaii. The friends you meet in class Will probably be friends for life. I am still in touch with several of the folks I went through class with years and years ago.

I have no idea what equipment costs these days but when I was doing it, it took about $1,500 to set yourself up, then you keep improving things.

I now live in Tucson. Not much diving here and I'm getting too old to pursue it. I have a set of U.S. Divers regulator and Octopus along with a Dive computer and B.C. that I can sell you cheap as my diving days are done. If you are interested, PM me and I will send you pictures.

The nice thing about diving is that once you own your equipment, Diving expenses consist of money for gas, beer and Pizza.

Do this! You will never be the same person. It really is a life changing experience.

BTW, I still have my mask and snorkel. I use it in the pool.
