5/ Dive knife:$60
To rent:
1/BC ( you really ought to purchase though, $500 new)
2/Lead (to buy if using a 7mm wetsuit $30-$60 depending on if it’s bagged or solid)
3/Wetsuit (personal choice here, buy is $500 for a good 7mm plus booties and gloves $40/pair, hood $30)
4/Dive computer: (optional, to own they start at $300 for a simple model)
5/ Floating Dive flag, to own $30
6/Air tank-comes with a fill if you rent. To own $200 new)
