Hello from the homebuilders:
with a 1400$ dollars we can kiss oriface any Russian rig out there, including electronics and purchase. Just ask Dave. If you truly want to build your own from scratch then plan on about 2000$ including screw ups and a bucket full of parts, that don't fit anything.
Your definition of safety will be your budget limiter.
russian unit about 750 with shipping, see dave for the best ones.
din regs and tanks about 600 ebay
adapter fittings and hoses 250$
aftermarket dsv 250$ the russian one sucks
kiss style home build electronics 250$
so say 2200$ for a home build russian unit
my own homebuilt bp 240
purchase 650$
bov 700$
fitting and hoses 300$
tanks and regs 600$
wing and backplate 400$
backplate adapter 200$
extra mav 125$
electronics 300$
sensors 210$
so as you see i have three thousand dollars in a home built.
it equates to most 8000 to 10000 dollars units that are out there so you might say that i saved 5000 $ but did i, i can not take it on vacation. i can only dive it of private boats. And i can not get certified on it.
Go work the overtime and buy a used kiss, get your ticket on it. And then play with it.
