For the novice diver, finding the perfect scuba equipment can be
frustrating because so much of it looks interesting and even cool. You
can really make a fashion statement with your wetsuit, alone, if you
wanted to do that. A majority of the serious divers aren't interested in
making a "fashion statement" however. They are looking for reliable,
high-quality dive gear. You might want to have second thoughts before
you buy someone else's equipment. For one thing, with different types of
equipment it's impossible to inspect the inner working parts to make
sure they are not damaged or weak. Our best advice is for you to always
purchase equipment and gear that is new until you've
been around diving for a while and have the knowledge to choose quality used equipment.
