So for the average, on vacation diver, I'm fully aware the it is totally a bad investment to buy a tank.
I will be DRIVING from NY to Boca Raton Florida, and I'm considering buying an AL80
Ive seen them for about 160, so we'll say 175 after tax and whatnot.
For a tank rental, it'd be $10
A tank fill (if you own one) would be $5
so owning a tank would save you $5 per dive, which means I would need to dive at least 35 times before I started benefiting from this tank purchase.
I plan on SHORE diving as often as possible in Florida (which may amount to Sat/Sun shore dives, and maybe one during the week)
Do you think I should buy a tank?
Another consideration I'm having is trying to get the LDS I buy the tank from to give me 5 or so free fills, do you think they'd go for that?
It may even be common practice, IDK
thanks!
