Hello

i work as a diving instructor, and divers always ask me this question, and i advice them to do the diving course first because while they do it they can try different types of the diving gear then they can decide what they can get, when you go to the dive shop you will fined many things and many designs of the equipment, simple equipment will be easy to use and also easy to care about them. i wish this was helpful, have a good dive.

There are plenty of websites which sells equipments online. Also you can find some at the local stores. If you buy online you will have problems with warranty and after services. If you buy at a local store they will give you free services for few years.
Thats what I do, for tanks and expensive items I buy at the local store. Low cost items like goggles get them online.
