Thank you for all the good advice. I’I’ve been busy enjoying the summer with trips to RI and the Cape at least once a week. Finally got my partying schedule to meet the dive boat schedule. Open waters dives completed. Certification card in hand.
So my plan was to buy a package from Orbits. Had a nice setup for around 900 from Oceanic. Then I was offered a BCD from a friend for 50 bucks. Done. Then I came across a friend that purchased a bunch of gear 8 yrs ago and only used it that summer. Had to take it. Looks brand spanken new. I still plan to buy a new setup but figured to get started this will do plus I can pass it on to get others involved in scuba.
The brand of equipment is PROSUB. Did some searching and found it stop being distributed in the US around 10 yrs ago. Still a brand in business in Germany. I took apart the regs and they look perfect. Nothing dry rotted. I’m going to get a tank today and check out the gages and do a little shallow water diving to check it out. Anyone filler with this brand? They are PROSUB XTRA regs.
I plan on doing a lot of local diving. Would love to dive with more experienced divers so I can learn the ropes. I’ll post in the buddy section for that.
Thanks again for all the advice and PLEASE give me any more on my new gear. Would really like to get extra replacement parts for everything.
