My parents got me 2 LP PST 95's 3 years ago for Christmas. They didn't ask me what kind of tanks i wanted or if i even wanted tanks. They went to the DS i had worked at for the previous 2 summers and asked them what they thought would be good. I was thrilled to have my own tanks, but that next summer i did summer school instead of working so the tanks stayed dry for about a year and a half. Then after i graduated i started working at a LDS fulltime and diving a lot more. Now i love having my own tanks. Since a i have a key to the shop the convience factor isn't that big, but i still like having my own tanks. On a good fill i can get 2 shallow dives at the quarry and plenty of air for an offshore NC dive.
Like a lot of people have said, if you do a lot of local diving or you want something other than al 80's it's a good idea to have your own tanks.

Got 6, 2 sets of doubles, and will probably get more. If you're going to dive a lot...........but but didn't someone say if it flys, floats, or f$%&s its cheaper to rent.
