How many tanks do you own?

[O2BBubbleFree]

43 tanks in all

I have a compressor so I fill them myself. Makes diving alot cheaper.

I haven't been able to justify buying tanks. My reasoning is that it costs about $1.00 more to rent one than it does to have one filled, so it would take about 100 dives to pay off a tank. Add in the price of inspections, and you might never break even.

However, I ran across your post, and you own 43 tanks AND a compressor? Don't get me wrong, I'm jealous. I would love to have some tanks and a compressor. But what I don't understand is how this saves you money. Please enlighten me.

The ponies I can understand, as you might not be able to readily rent them, but I would like to know more about your circumstances, and why this is more economical for you.

Thanks.

Hey Sitkadiver - we are in Sitka too. We bought our own air compressor from an old guy who lives out smc down on Thimbleberry bay.
We've got probaby 15 misc. tanks (most of which were bought at the dive shop on beer friday when Brian has his "abandoned tank" sales).
So I've seen a few of your other posts - and seen your picture of Earl (are you crazy??)........ are you Dave S?
