Honestly, I used to think the 3M 6000 series half mask was a waste of money compared to my old one. Had a coffee with a salvage diver from Seattle who's been on the job for 30 years. He said 'Kid, you only get one set of lungs. That extra seal on a cold, long dive isn't about comfort, it's about not dying.' That hit different. What's your go-to piece of gear you won't cheap out on?

My first cheap harness taught me that lesson the hard way, never skimp on the thing that keeps you off the deck.

Oof, that's a rough way to learn. Honestly, gear that's supposed to keep you safe is the last place to cut corners. Tbh, I'd rather save up for an extra month than wonder if something's gonna hold. It just makes everything feel more solid when you're up there.
