I went by Bay Breeze and they were really nice.  I decided to order the dive rite..(I think) back plate, recreational wing, and got a regulator, gauges and computer.  I was able to get the regulator and gauges but will have to wait a week for the other stuff.   

They have let me have an identical set to use in the meantime.

Can't wait to get out and try it. 

I am wondering if I should purchase a tank or two.

Hey Bmoore (sent ya a pm thingy) and James!  You guys heading out this weekend?  Got room for another diver?

If you can afford to buy your own tanks, it's worth it.  What killed me about renting tanks was the fact that if a trip was cancelled, that is just wasted air/gas that you paid for and didn't use.  At lease when you own your own tanks, you can still use that air on a later dive.  And you can always have them filled and ready to go for those last minute trips.  Most people do 2-3 dives in a day and it's good to have at least that many.  But as always, money is the deciding factor.

You will be happy with the diverite setup.  It will allow you to grow/change as your intrest in the sport grows as well.

Not sure what the plan is yet.  May have some ear fud, (fear uncertianty and doubt.)  Gotta get it checked out by the Dr. here in a bit.  May have blown it out last time we were out.  Hopefully everything will be ok.

Will let ya know.

The best thing about diving. My girlfriend can't yell at me underwater

Diving is life, everything else is just a surface interval

Handle every situation like a dog if you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

And I aint sure what aluminums cost, but I logged 85 dives in the last year, 85 x $4 = $340.

For the person who goes 20 times a year, definately cheaper to rent.

Plus, I just don't think they rent 108's, and I love mine. Got a good deel on em at MBT sell last fall, and I will never go to a different tank.

Should I get a couple of steel or Aluminum tanks?

We use low pressure steel tanks, usually overfilled to about 3000 psi. 

Heck there is a shop in Marrianna that put 3600 in em once.  I asked em about the practice of overfilling em and they said it was no big deal as long as they are used fairly quickly...and these guys have been at it awhile so I trust em.

Id say get a couple of steel 80-90's...get two so we can band em together for a set of doubles for a cave dive or long tech dive in the future.  Mine are currently apart but it would only take a few minutes to have em hooked back together.

Looks like its a no go this weekend.   Might hit the Navarre Pier depending upon the conditions.

Will keep ya posted.
