Ooooh that's steep! No reason for it when Subtropic and Captains Corner are running so cheaply! I guess when people ask, we steer them in the right direction what else can ya do
yep.. that's him.
most of the dive operators just cater to the 'vacation diver' who doesn't know any better. They don't want but one tank to rent. they don't want the hassles.
They also don't want you "extending your bottom time" with say a HP119 making go over the 4 hours they allotted for your trip. I've had dive operators before for example tell us that we had to be "back on board by 11am" (or in 40 minutes) so they could leave on time.
Yet some of the same dive operators have no problems jacking up their trip price for a Vandenberg dive, even when it's the same time length and distance run to the sites they dove before they sunk the Vandenberg.
But I agree with you that something like a HP100 with a convertible valve would be great for shops to have. They just don't want to go to the extra expense and hassle I think. oh well.
Hey! I'm not a "him!" ;-)
ha.... In Key West, you can never tell for sure!
