You guys have anygood advice on a good snorkel and fins? I want to start checking out the structure underneath the suds and maybe a lil spear fishing after i got more comfortable next season. I prefer the de-bearded clam, that have become readily available these days.

I was waiting for someone to come up with that. I had a pretty good guess who it was going to be.

HEY  none of that 
Canal Rat what cert do u have, i'm rescue/MSD
Cheferson i have the scuba pro twin speeds and they are great, i would rocomend going to a dive shop and getting advise from them/ try on a few, then if you want you could get them off the net. |

Cheferson I stuck with the simple stuff, stayed with the Scuba pro black runner fins, I forget what brand snorkel I have but you will get a feel for what they are all about in the store, some have purge others don't it's all in what you like. Personnally I was looking for a collapsible snorkel the last season that I made a lot of dives but that is just me.

depends on where you dive, what you buy/rent, how much you dive. new/used dont remember how much the classes cost, but id say for gear to dive up here low end $800 high end 5k
add some for rental tanks, it adds up quickly 
but its so much fun
btw when you get your cert. get DAN insurance
chamber rides cost a lot! |

Check out Ebay, I spent $ 1600.00 and I tried to keep the cost down  I recently sold my BC and regulator, will check out some new gear in a month or so. I am thinking dry suit but I dunno been tough finding someone to dive with who has the time so I may just back off who knows. |

Dry suit? Have a DUI for sale or trade, also two 80's with K valves (need hydro) and a double manifold with backpack....
Spent 8 years diving, haven't made the time to do the sport thing.

My girl went diving on our recent trip to the galapagos she said it was awesomeshe saw turtles sealions tuna wahoo white tip sharks all types of reef fishes, on her second dive a 14 foot hammerhead swam right by the boat right before they got into the water, the dive master said they never bother you as he was humming the theme to jaws. Shes padi certified and swims like a fish 3 years ago off costa rica about 25 miles off shore she got into the water with a huge school of spinner dolphin with a bunch of big yellowfin underneath.
