(pardon my spelling throughout this letter)
I am a new diver (18 logged). I think I have been bitten by the dive bug and I really want to get into this sport. I live in an area where there are a lot of divers and sites so staying active won't be a problem. I am looking for a tangable(non-internet) place that sells used dive gear that I can try on and test out. I suppose the internet might be a last resort, but than again I can always just bite the bullet, save, and buy new. I am always hearing how SCUBA has a high drop-out rate but what do they do with their gear? There must be a place for lightly used dive gear. Well, if you have any info it would be greatly appreciated. I live in So. Cal.

P.S. I recently did about 12 dives on Catalina. Would anyone appreciate the reports?
