re: Anyone into snorkeling or diving?

got a friend who dives several lakes in the area, attempting to get me into it. Gave me some advice, but told me to seek other info from others who snorkel and dive, bring that to him and look for the best deals, etc.
That's why I asked specifically on masks, gear, etc. What is the best mask for the $$$ one would recommend...?

I bought a lot of stuff off eBay. Used Mares abyss regs for about quarter of retail. Only problem buying used is a dive shop is gonna charge you full price for any service you get done on them. Sometimes if you buy local they will give you a break on any service done.
Also found some good deals on BCDs at leisure pro. Sherwood tortuga. It’s a back inflate hybrid that inflated under your arms as well. It helps you float upright at the surface without squeezing you when inflated.
I bought some split fins off eBay as well that we’re used and a good price.
I bought a mares dive computer from leisure pro that was around a hundred bucks and is really easy to use.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you take diving courses. If you can't find them nearby don't risk killing yourself without being totally prepared for when something unexpected happens. I almost drowned near St Andrews Park near Panama City years go, diving with a friend you was "teaching" me.
I quickly decided to get certified. It makes a big difference in the diving experience when you know what your doing.
