Cool I'm not the only member that SCUBA dives here.
Glad to see you enjoyed yourself. Never heard of the place you went to sadly.

Well the basic stuff; fins, boots, snorkal and mask go for about $300 for quality stuff. SCUBA tank will run you about $150, good BCD (I use a wing) is $50-100, and your weight belt depends on your situation.
Now the weight belt I said that because my dad made use our belts. And to further stress the point is that some BCDs have pockets that let you put weights in the vest. So really it's the setup you want. I would suggest if you do any cold water diving with a wet-suit, have a belt that is spring loaded to tighten as the suit gets more compressed (like ours).

I've never scuba dived before but my dad did for 30 years when he was young and when he lived in BC. I really want to give it a try some day and I most deffinatly will be but ive never been too a warm enugh place to try it. I've never been out of Canada yet but i'm only 17 and the time will definatly come. I have snorkled before though. I't not really that scary, you have to get into the groove of diving on air and not going up too take a breath.
i was soo scared before i dived i was shaking because the instructor was saying things like "in the possible event of an equipment malfunction we take no responsibility for death or injury but then we went under and i felt like that was where i wanted to be i just loved it so much....xxxeagle wrote:Wow that seems like a fun trip. I want to go scuba diving sometime it seems like fun, is it scary at first?
