I am looking around at some SCUBA options and on google maps looking at St. Maarten. Apparently there is a store called "Octopus Diving & Snorkling" and I am just sitting here thing, what sorts of things do octopus need to buy to go snorkling?

Well if you decide to get into pcp airguns, the electric pumps that fill them can also be used to fill scuba tanks. Been using a hand pump but scuba diving might be my excuse for getting an electric one.

@Diptchip Good to know, but there is really almost no condition in which I'd dive air (though it is common for beginner divers who arent certified to use anything but air).. For me ill almost certainly be diving either shallow with nitrox (higher concentration of oxygen than in air), or at depth with trimix (a mix of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium).

That said if you want to get into SCUBA since the entry level that most people stop at is air only it would be a great purchase for you for sure.
