This post is aimed at those curious about geting into tech diving and what is involved. The usual comments about training, mentor, and a pile of money apply. As I started getting my gear aquared away to dive in FLA for 10 days I was shocked. The question came to mind, How did I get here!!!.
The spare room in my house is now beter stocked than the local rec dive shop. 4 sets of doubles, 2 lp 120's, 2 hp 120's, a stray lp 72, 1 al 80, and 6 stage bottles. 8 first stages, 12 second stages, a collection of spare hp and lp hoses, dry suit with 3 different sets of underwear, yada yada. All this coupled with the fact that it took me four hours to pump the gas required.
So this is just a reflection of where you are headed if on the tech road. I try not to think about the pile of money that it represents as it makes me feel guilty about telling my wife we do not need a new refrigerator. lol
