Buying SCUBA Gear is like buying a car, there are many choices and all will get the job done. You need to do your homework, investigate the pros and cons of the equipment and make the choice that is right for you, your age, type of diving and budget.
Some SCUBA gear will get the job done better, or more comfortably. Some will better suited than others depending upon what type of diving you do (car Vs truck for carpenter). Others will be KIAs and some will be Rolls Royce’s, with a lot of choices. Some will be dependable work horses, and others lemons that are unreliable.
And that, like everyone else’s advice on what to buy, my is my opinion.
