Hey Kyle good luck with your Mom, it sounds like things are looking good considering. When I was in Destin I did my boat dives with Scuba-Tech and rented my tanks for the beach dives from Emerald Coast. I probaly rented 10 tanks there and 2 of them had leaky on\off valves. I think that EC is in a transisional period. I still like the people there and thier prices on equipment seem a little better than Scuba-Tech. The Captain for Scuba-Tech is very enviromental friendly and a good guy, not always real friendly though. Scuba-Tech has a new First Mate, you can kinda tell he is new but very friendly and very helpful. I think I will stick with Scuba-tech for boat dives. Take Care Guys.
