1: Wetsuit: Prices vary by thickness of the suit. The thicker, the warmer. Generally, from US $150 to $500
2: Rebreather: Unless you have special training, you cannot use a rebreather. $6000-$10000
3: Tanks: Tanks vary by the make of the tank, steel or aluminum. Aluminum tanks are generally around US $150 for the standard 80cf. Steels start at $250 and go up from there.
4: Lessons: From $150 – $300, USD
5: Diving bag: Save yourself some cash, and get a rolling duffel bag, or large rolling suitcase. $50 for either of those. “Dive” bags will run $200 to $300 for the nicer ones.
6: Mask / fins / snorkel: You need these to take your certification classes. Usually $150 to $200 will get you the basics. Prices can go up from there, if you get fancier gear to start.
7: BCD: The vest you wear in the water to control your buoyancy. $350 – $700.
8: Regulators: The breathing gear most of the diving world uses. $500-$1500.
Do yourself a favor. Buy your basic start up gear. Take and pass your certifications class. Then decide if you want to get into diving. Then buy your gear.
