<font color='#000F22'>One option ant one that I've done on 3 occasions is to by someone elses kit when they quit. First I bought off an ex club member. It included comp, tank, regs & semi etc. Then I bought a set of kit from free ads, the following year and it included a dry suit & better regs more tanks etc. Flogged what i didn't need to another club member who needed some stuff (we'd arranged it together). Then I bought a set of kit earlier this year off an ex trimix diver Dui suit twins, stage, deco, argon & lots of stuff. He even had a platform for deco stops he'd built. I reckon I paid around a 1/4 of the value. But you do have to be careful as the euipment will need to be serviced as your cost & make sure it fits.
I was lucky & got a very good deal on equipment that was for the most part not used much & as he did the channel thing was in very good condition.
