The only bit of gear that doesn't need an upgrade is my BCD. Most everything else is 2nd hand and is at least 8-10yrs old. My wetsuit is a good one but it was an elcheapo(45.00 gift) that lacks any elbow/knee pads. It will do for a while but will wear out faster with out the pads. Everything is functional and well maintained so it will last a while.

That's a good way to do it!

I love my old regulator. It has metal Phalanges in it to keep me from getting cotton mouth. Hubby calls me a slobberfish because it makes me drool so much.
