I have been freediving the SoCal area for the last few years and now it is time to learn scuba. I have my own boat (20' Trophy) for Catalina and the Channel islands and I use a kayak for accessing the coastal areas. I have wetsuits and lights but need to get the rest of the gear.
1. Where is the best place to get certified? How much is it?
2. What is the gasic gear needed and where can I get some good deals on it?
I don't think that I will be doing any really deep diving.
Thanks,
Mike
