Getting rid of everything.

Parents keep giving me BS about diving everytime I go to dive and now they're using it as a privilege to take away from me. ugh So I gotta sell everything. I'll list what I have and we'll take it from there.

Rig
DiveRite Classic Wing (black)
DiveRite S/S Backplate + Standard Harness
DiveRite Nitek Duo Computer

stages
Salvo first stage w/ enviroment package (currently with x650 and 7'hose)
Diverite First stage(short lp hose, hp 28", short bc inflator hose)
Scubapro x650 second stage
Diverite rg2500 second stage

Amenities
DiveRite Frameless mask
Atlan Semi-dry wetsuit (size Medium)
Scubapro boots (Medium 8-10)

reels
Salvo 400' primary
100' spool

other
zknife
1x Princeton tec40 (LED)
1x Princeton tec40 (halogen)

As of now they want it gone.. but if I just move out how can they tell me I can't dive? (maybe there's another college student out there that needs a reliable roommate?)

On 400' Salvo Reel.

Change your major to marine biology, ocean engineering, marine architecture, underwater crime scene investigation or super dupper Put Another Dollar In (PADI) Specialist instructor then they can't complain.

sorry to hear you have to sell everything. what are you asking for the duo ni-tek comp. :?:

You can always find a buddy to leave your gear with.

You got money for that gear but no money for college or independence? Dude! Unless you are under 18, you have problems that have nothing to do with diving. Just my 2 cents. Good luck to you.

Careful, Angie. You're getting mighty close to home... :wink:

Forgive my bluntness. Life is short and I've been through so much of late that my patience runs thin. I'm not inclined to sugar coat stuff. Likewise I don't need folks to sugar coat it for me and so they have not. I appreciate that just fine even if I disagree. 8) I have heard that this kid is a great guy and a hard worker. I admire that. I still wish him luck and I'm sure he will grow through his current situation just fine. It's sad that it has to be so stressful for him though.

I'm talking about me. :twisted:

I can't not do what the parents tell me, but I can compromise. After I reorganize my priorities.

Oh, and i'm a full time student as well, Angie.

Tell your parents you got rid of the gear, and ill keep it "in storage" for you, and it will be well taken care of...just let me know when you want it back :-D Doing what I can do to help out another college cave diver, im in the same boat sometimes too!

people like to know how much something costs b4 they buy.how 'bout sum prices? specifically the duo. how much?

yes, how much for them items you got there ? :)

I posted to appease the parents... and in that case NOBODY wants anything I'll just have to keep my gear and continue diving so it wasn't a waste to buy it. riiiight right?

Ahem. Right.

To truly appease them, you need to post prices. Something like:

Dive Rite Classic wing - $900.00

Nitek Duo computer - $1,200.00

Salvo first stage - $850.00

100' spool - $300.00

and so forth.

If nobody buys anything, you can always blame the economy.

Ah, I gotcha. I think Sludge has a pretty good ballpark on figures then. :)
