1. Having to drive to out of the way places for deco gas blends.
2. Having to constantly wait for them to fix the blend or plan the dive around something as much as 5-10% off what I asked for.
3. Having to haul double 100s or 130s plus a few deco bottles up tiny ladders and over wide transoms.
All told, I probably need to consider RB training.

Fuel cost and time.
Filling tanks takes an hour. Driving to the dive site and back takes three. This means four hours per dive + one in the water + two on the shore. Almost a full working day that is.

1. Money
With enough money you can fix all those other issues.
With enough money you can fix all those other issues.
1) Cleaning and stowing gear at home after a dive trip. I am usually tired, I procrastinate, and getting it clean and DRIED and stowed is usually a pain - the last thing I want to be doing;
2) long(ish) drives from NC to some of my favorite out-of-state spots (FL Keys, St. Lawrence);
3) divers with absolutely no situational awareness, either underwater (bouncing off a reef, dragging their octo / console through the fish nests in the quarry, swimming right through a student diver group working with me on / around a platform), or on a dive boat.
