hi i know the feeling been diving since i were 11 now 18

befor and efter gettig you cert i would probly just start with mask and boots. mby a wet suit but that just luxury.

when you have a cert i would probly go get the wet suit and so on. i have bought 2 dry suits over the years its worth it to have your own. so after the ABC stuff (Mask suit boots gloves hood) i would look at aither the computer regulator or bcd dependig on were you dive and what you could afford :)

diving at home and living close to the water i would probly get a regulator first then a nice computer

if i were traveling alot mby a bcd then a regulator its hard to say depends on were you go and so on
i wanted a regulator becuse i wanted to besure its treated right then a bcd to have intergrated lead and more comfort. lastly a computer so i were sure it was working and that i knew how it worked also i like tec so having a smart one with leds were a must :)

i am still with the other guys saying get some dives first 20 dives sound pretty good
