Howdy all!
Got a question for you - especially the operators.
I typically use a lot more air than the average guy. Former offensive lineman-type build and holiday smoker, along with infrequent dive trips, all conspire to make the usual 80 cube tank a little tight for my taste. What I'd like to do is bring my own (or have the operator supply, at my cost) a 120 cube steel tank for my week of diving. It would add so much to my dive week to have the extra air on my back.
Is this something that a typical operator would look kindly upon? I know that I should work on getting my SAC down (only on a scuba forum will I ever use that phrase) but in the meantime I want to be able to enjoy my diving without the regimented air consumption control techniques that I typically use.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
m.
