Explain to me why you own your own tank(s)

I think they have to be active to breed. I've had a pair of 130s in storage for a couple of years because I haven't had the money to get them hydro'd and they sadly show no signs of reproducing.

They problem, as @Belzelbub alluded to, is that your tanks were twins. Siamese twins connected at the shoulder and waist are naturally sterile and can never reproduce even once separated.

The twinsets are like fraternity brothers and sorority sisters…inviting friends over at all hours of the day and night.

My dive shop isn’t open on Wednesdays for some reason. Also for some reason Wednesday or Thursday morning is usually open for me to go shore diving.

It’s easier to just top it up on the weekends and have the convenience of being able to dive whenever

The wife and I dive off our own sailboat. Owning your own tanks is cheaper than renting when you're on a week-long trip.

buoyancy characteristics, control, money, and DIN.

I dive HP100s and I like to mix/analyze my own gasses, friend at the dive store knows me so I get 'good fills' and I always have tanks ready to go.

Plus, diving off friends private boats - ya bring your own tanks and sometimes for the captain too cause you're on his boat

I was going to get wild and buy 4 tanks but I think I’ll buy two for now and then get nitrox. Or I guess I can buy 4 and resell them when I get nitrox. Alls I know is, if I’m driving there, I’m not renting tanks.

2,4, 7, who is counting.
Nice to meet you this evening.

Thank you for the tanks, the scuba info, and just for being awesome!

You and your wife are both so cool and I miss Hippo already!

Wishing you good weather and smooth seas next month on Superior!

I’m a happy er

I also got to see Mr. Tracys ship, she’s a sight to behold! Him and his wife commandeer some lucky patrons across the seas!

I am pretty familiar with diving in the UP. Where are you diving that the closest fills are 90 minutes out? There are a few fill stations scattered around the UP. Maybe deep in the porkies could be 90 minutes. Fortune pond is the only dive spot I can think of that would be 90 minutes to fills.

You're exactly right, Fortune Pond is my UP destination.
