What is your dream setup?

[Trey9123]

I'd just like to know everyones opinion on who makes the best gear in scuba. I've made it a point to read a lot of research and try out as much different gear as I have been able to. I know that different manufactures have different strengths, so lets figure out by general consensus what they are. I guess, just pretty much list your dream setup if money was no object and you could upgrade everything in your collection. Feel free to add whatever I have forgot.

Category Brand Model
Regulators 1st stage Apeks XTX200 Tungsten Swivel
Regulators 2st stage Atomic Aquatics B2
Octo Atomic Aquatics SS1
BC's Zeagle Brigade (ST special)
Computer Oceanic Atom 2.0
Wetsuits Henderson Hyperstretch
Fins Mares Volo Race
Masks H20 H20 Clear Frameless
Spear guns Riffe ???
Knife UK Remora Titanium BC knife

My dream setup is:

Scubapro 2nd stage G250V and the S600 with 2x 1st stage MK25
2x faber HP100
Atom 2.0 with 2x transmitter
SPG gauge
Jet fins
Pinnacle Evolution 2 drysuit
EVO3 boots
Oceanic Shadow mask with prescription lens (yeah right)
Canon A570 with wide angle lens/ YS-110 strobe
Greenforce canister light

But I have most of these already except for the atom 2.0, the oceanic mask, the g250v/mk25. Otherwise, I have most of these gears listed.

The exception is the drysuit is still pending.

a good set of gear that will allow me to dive any recreational site i choose and last me years to come.

Dream setups are going to vary widely depending on the type of diving each person does.

For me, I'd have a number of dream setups, depending on the individual types of diving I do: Rec or tech, cold water or warm water, fresh or salt, caves or wrecks or open water, instruction or fun diving.

I'm fortunate that the majority of my gear is already my dream gear, with very few exceptions, unless we start talking about camera gear, let alone video gear.

At this point, it's mostly about costs of trips and instruction, though. THAT's my dream gear...

My dream set up is a resort I never have to leave that has amazing diving and all the equipment that I will ever need....and of course free...or even better...pays me to be there.....yes yes I know there are those lucky bastards that have these jobs...

As for dream gear...stuff that lasts and that i am not paying 10x the amount cause of the name......

my dream set up? that's easy!
I would just need to wake up tomorrow as either Joe or Larry....or some weird combination....
with ST as my oyster....

My dream setup is the one thats coming on UPS this week from ST's - it is my dream setup b/c it is my first complete setup and I have waited for a bit before buying (plus getting a set-up for my wife)

Oceanic GT3 reg, Alpha 8 Oct, analog gauges (have a veo180 already), Brigade BC

about the only thing I would add if I had the money is an AI wrist computer like an Atom or something similar

[Dieseler]

I'm not sure that I so much have a dream setup, just reliable gear. Since I'm still starting out, I just keep an eye out for good deals. Now I just need to find a killer deal on a good balanced-piston reg!

That being said, I did just get my TransPac and want to get an octo/inflator for it. And after trying out my buddy's biofins, I might have to upgrade sometime

A new wetsuit would be nice...

and a 2nd home on the coastline of Monterey,
and a 3rd home oceanside in Bonaire,
and a 4th home in Fiji..........

sigh....I guess I'll just settle for a new Seacure mouthpiece.
