I will soon have a garage space. I was wondering if it would be worth to it to get a compressor fill your own air as well as to get O2 and Helium and mix your own nitrox and trimix? While this subject has been discussed before, economic changes have happened. Can anyone give me an idea of how much would a trimix mixing set up cost at its cheapest and what exactly would I need to purchase?
For someone doing 50 local dives, half f which would be technical dives with an unknown number being on helium, would it make sense to have your own blending station?
The idea of gas mixing is appealing to me just for the heck of it. I like compressor noise and the smell and everything that goes with it. The question is, at what level or frequency of fills does it get financially rewarding? I was wondering if my own limited diving would justify the costs or would I have to supply fills to other divers in the area to justify the fills?
