As a beginner, learn to snorkel first would be my advice. Many people believe they will scuba without learning to breathe underwater.

My advice, splurge on a good pair of fins. Currents are no joke!

I really like these Diving Equipment, it help us dive easily.

First thing before anything is to work out the cost.
For many people all those togs and electronic gear being pushed costs a bomb .
It's amazing how people 40 years ago managed without all this electronics and just had a decent divers watch.

Bro, you don't have to have a matching brand Octo why you leading people astray? I run a Scubapro Mk25 Evo S600, and I use an aqualung Octo and it's great all day. Bro.

Since when does your Octi have to be the same brand?

You don't need to buy matching regulator and octopus!

all you need to buy is mask, snorkel and fins, you cant rent everything else, and if its for you then you can buy your gear all at once or acquire it as you go, BCD, REG, GAUGES etc as it is expensive for most people, it is cheaper if you buy it in a package deal many dive shops offer

Not to nitpick, but how is this "gear for beginners"? Don't all divers, regardless of skill level, need regulators, masks, fins, etc? :)

I think what beginner divers need more than anything is to understand their own diving ambitions. Do they plan to dive only occasionally in tropical island destinations? Will they spend their time in cold quarries? Do they plan to do any spearfishing or perhaps underwater photography will interest them?

For example, for someone who will do most of their diving in the Caribbean, the focus should be on lightweight, easily packable gear they won't mind lugging with them. They don't need a BC with a ton of lift, but rather one that won't take up a ton of room in a bag and has lightweight material construction. The Hydros Pro you show in the video is probably overkill for this type of diver. Yes, it's an absolutely fantastic product, but this diver would be well kitted with something like the Aqualung Zuma at less than half the cost of the Hydros Pro.

Finally, I think the best advice one can give to a new diver is that there is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to gear. No single BCD is going to match every diver's needs. No single exposure suit is going to work for all situations. Figure out what you want to do, and purchase the gear appropriate for that activity.

I am a 13 year old about to go for my Open Water Diver... While beginning to start diving, is it better to rent, or straight up buy all the equipment? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Where in the UK can you train to be able service scuba equipment?

Completely unrelated, I'm not a fan of scubapro's regulators. They plug the octopus- an ok idea in theory, but when you're in a spot with literally ZERO visibility, and you lose a regulator (it was a training dive so we were reviewing skills.), combined with the plug not coming out, it scared me. Good thing I had such a good divemaster.
