Greetings from Sunny S. Florida

[Gregg_Connary]

I am new to the boards. A long time cave diver friend mentioned about some of the boards that were online so I checked out a few of them.

I have been diving for about 25 years, the last few have been a bit on the lean side due to other things and the cost of boat trips has gotten to be rather high. I bought a boat a couple of years ago and I am retrofitting it for diving this year.

I am in the process of upgrading some of our gear and putting things in order for a safe dive season. I am looking for a new tank, preferable a LP-95 PST galvanized, because I had to turn my old 72cf into a lamp. Hydro would accept it because of the lining in the tank.

I do mostly reef and wreck diving here. Depths range from 45 to 100 ft. and are usually drift dives because of the gulf stream being basically on-shore during the summer.

Thanks for the invite

Regards,
Gregg

Welcome to SB neighbour. Plenty of trips going on in your part of the state - where exactly are you based? Sounds like most is out of WPB and Broward.
