    When to buy tanks?

    Agreed! I did the math today and figuring the difference between renting tanks and just a fill (of your own tanks) is around $7/tank/day. That means at roughly $700 for two HP100s/120s. Figuring 2 dives per day locally, 2 days diving per "trip" that's 4 "fills" per trip saving $28/trip. $700/$28...

    Wetsuit thickness question...

    Dan, et al. I have the Waterproof SemiDry (The Taurus) and LOVE it!! It's great in the local Monterey waters. I've only dove it to 45 degrees but still been toasty and what little water is in it is HOT. That said, I hardly get wet at all. I usually put on a little conditioner on my arms and legs...

    Gloves: Waterproof or 4th Element

    Gear Table?

    Picked it up at Home Depot today. They were hidden near an endcap in the lumber section but a clerk helped me find it. $34.76 inc tax.

    Roatan travel

    So everyone not on the island talks about diesel and gas supplies. While it's a logical next step that doesn't make it reality. Can anyone confirm if there is or isn't a gas/diesel shortage?

    July 12th, 13th and 14th Monterey

    I could be convinced to dive Tuesday! Either Lobos or Monastery works for me. If you don't mind one more, count me in!

    What did you think of the Sanctuary? Seems the "big" ones are the cypress sea and the beach hopper II. I've been looking at the Sanctuary since it's a smaller boat with less people.

    Oceanic SPG... is it supposed to rattle?

    Does it rattle under pressure or just when nothing's attached?

    AI Computer?

    The problem with diving tables in this way is they assume a square profile. Very few dives are "square". A computer will give you much longer dive times by constantly recalculating your NDL based on depth and air consumption

    Wetsuit thickness question...

    Good choice! The 7mm pinnacle merino is a good suit. Have you tried one on in person yet. They have a... particular... fit. For some they work GREAT but I've heard some people say they'll never fit into a pinnacle. There are a few other options with different fit profiles. Here are some...
