Ebay but check prices on here first. Loads and Loads of divers buy new kit never use it and then sell it coz they quit diving within two years.
Get a single tank wing and start off looking reeeeeely cool
Ask Diving Nick Nacks on here to help out with a Frog rig or again look on Ebay for Halcyon OMS Aga Brock or DIR Zone
Apex Regulators TX ATX 40's & 50s are cheep and bulletproof regs that will do any diving you will ever do. No mater what reg you buy it will be compared to the Apex for performance.
Oceanic Alpha 7's are even cheaper and pretty damed good to.
Mask get a new one any of the big eye types is good Cressi Mares etc.
You will freeze your arse off in a 7mm suit at all times except and possibly including the height of summer. Get a Dry Suit. Yo can then dive earlier / later in the year in relative comfort and only freeze to death on three months of the year. (Feb Mar April)
Fins: Avanti Quatroes are a good start point £50-70 and possibly the only fins you will ever use.
