Hi all. In looking at dive ops, many offer larger tanks and/or advertise long dive times. All of my tropical diving has been on TCI or GC with use of 80 cf tanks, and usually 1 hr or less dive times. Some ops I found liked to really push to get back for the afternoon dives and hastened the SI - which of course affected the second dive. Or they seemed in a hurry to get back to the marina and clean the boat. The ”surface with 500 psi“ parameter seemed to mean 500 or 60 minutes. Occasionally you could sense the annoyance in the crew if you pushed the dive time being last to surface.
Do these dive ops really let you dive as long as you want within gas and NDL limits - even with larger tanks? Thanks
