Hi guys,
I'm heading to Key West in March, but I just have a 3mm wetsuit and a crushed neoprene front zipper drysuit in my closet to bring. I do something like 95% of my diving in a drysuit, and was wondering if that could work in March in keys, or if I should just go with a wetsuit?
My plans involve the Vandenberg as well as maybe a trip up to Key Largo to dive the Spiegel and the Duane. So I was hoping to do these deeper dives with at least a 100 or 120 and ideally a pony bottle. So I am wondering if anyone in Key West or Key Largo does off-premises rental of large (100 or 120) tanks. Or do I need to ship my tanks down?
Thanks!

PS: in case it helps anyone else who searched for this thread, if you're diving with Captain's Corner in Key West, they may be willing to fill empty tanks (or tanks depressured to 40 psi) so long as they have a current VIP. Fedex has fairly low rates on shipping a single box large enough to fit two tanks ($60-70 each way for 70 lbs as of 2015). If you're staying at a full-service hotel, they can probably also sign and hold for you, but check in advance.
