I agree if you're talking about BC, regulator, tank, etc.
But I think everyone who dives should have their own mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit

OP, I would suggest going to a dive shop and trying on several masks to find the one that fits you best

Glad you're getting into diving...its incredible

This you will drop $1K give or take on gear that for something you might not like, get certified rent until you are advanced open water certified and then decided if you want to buy your own.

The single most important thing to a beginner (other than breathing) is to have a good fitting mask.

Expect to pay $50-80. Don't buy cheap stuff when your life may depend on it.
