Scuba Equipment

What should i spend on scuba equipment if my limit is 1,000 dollars?

I know i need a regulator, mask, fins, snorkel, bc wetsuit…what else do i need. And…what should i spend on each item if i can only spend up to 1000 dollars?

If that’s your limit, then I suggest that after you’ve bought your mask/snorkel/ fins, get your reg set. It’s by far one of your most important gear decisions and it has the ability to be custom fit (mouthpiece) and the regs tuned, just for your breathing style. Rental regs are just like a rental car, average.
You can expect to spend anywhere from 500 bucks to 1500 bucks on a full set of regs. A BC you can rent until you’ve saved up again. It’s important gear too, but your regs will work with it and it will also give you the opportunity to try out different BC’s before you buy.
Lastly, travel concerns. Right now, you’re traveling light. A reg set takes up little room and can be can (should) be carried on board an aircraft. Your BC and exposure suit take up a lot of room. You can rent this stuff at your destination.
