Im going on a vacation, never been scuba diving before. Where is there a place to rent scuba gear for a reasonable price? I dont want a pool or set up atmosphere- I’m looking for reef and actual marine wildlife. I’m assuming these are guided experiences. About 100 mile radius from Orlando. Thank you for any help.

There are companies that will take you on guided scuba tours, but you will have to attend an "abbreviated" scuba course first.
Scuba diving can be a dangerous sport without proper training, so you can’t just rent the gear and have at it, without any training at all. You can’t even rent the gear yourself, without a certification card.

I need cover for two weeks in Tobago to include scuba diving up to 40m (I’m qualified!). The best I’ve seen so far is £65. Has anyone found anything better?

I just did a quotation for you from http://www.travelinsuranceweb.com based on the details above. They have a selection for scuba diving upto 50m. It came upto £23.69 with the full cover you would expect from travel insurance for this kind of activity. Check it out.
