A basic set of  gear will be enough to enjoy initial dives. Technical diving however, requires both special preparation and specialist equipment.  With advice and guidance it is possible to find good offers in an interesting and active second hand market.  When purchasing ítems it is important to consider future necessities and not only current requirements.

Complete diving kits can cost upwards from 900€.   It is generally unnecessary and unadvisable to purchase everything at once especially having just started diving.  ´Anthias Sub´ offers dive centre students special deals on the purchase of gear.
