    I have seen some deals on courses if you buy basic gear for under $ 1500
    Did mine in '84-85 and it was around 3 hundy for the open water cse then.

    Do a course first. God knows how much now @Toby.
    Rent gear initially then trawl Trademe. You'll always find some Jaffa gets into it, buys all the gear then kicks it after a couple dives after it gets colder.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I started to do mine open water course in Rarotonga a couple of years ago. It was going to cost me $399 for the best deal. One place was $500.
    When I got back to NZ I looked it up and was going to be $500! I should've finished it!
