That doesn't sound as bad as I thought it might be.  The mask, fins and 
snorkle are about the same price I paid 18 years ago (granted I bought good 
stuff)
.

Again, not too bad; about twice what I paid originally.

Dive computer?  Is that a grease pencil and a laminated white card? .
.

I agree - it certainly can't hurt and I'm sure my wife would rather that we 
learn together.

Thanks for all of your help.  I hope to be getting wet again soon.
