I’ve only been diving for the last 2-3 years so I consider myself a beginner. I only ever bring my snorkel and mask and fins. That’s it. I rent everything else. The only other thing I could see my self buying is a wet suit but the water conditions of the place you go may dictate the mils needed so I just rent that too.

My personal preference is that I would only buy gear if you are going a lot and it makes financial sense. Or you’re very particular about something like your BC/regulator/dive computer that you want some feature you can’t get renting. I’ve always been happy renting.

I only go maybe once a year

excellent advise
especially if you are traveling to dive, no way I’m bringing a BC or computer or any of that other shite. the single most important item of gear that should be a personal fit is the mask/snorkel and everything else is for most people interchangeable and thus better off rented

if you dive all the time locally and/or spearfish then obviously you’ll want your own stuff
