We will be diving on the Blue Force 3 in the Maldives in January 2024. It's getting to be time to request bigger tanks if we want them. We've been diving with a lot of operations and on a few liveaboards and everyone seems to do it differently. In Fiji most of the dives were 40 minutes because most of the divers did not have cameras. Other times they guided us but let us dive our dive. We are really good on air so if we end up on a churn and burn operation darting from one thing to another it might not be worth the up charge. Has anyone been diving with this boat/crew recently able to give advice?
 
As I recall, most of the dives were basically 60 minutes and some can be in the 90-100' range or in current. If you suck air, you can always benefit from a little bigger tank than the normal 80 AL. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. The upcharge is in the noise since you're traveling half way round the world!
