Can anyone help me find the best & most cost effective place to buy my air tanks ? I live in central NY, and have most all of my gear except my tank or tanks. Thanks

Are you sure you need to own tanks? Many new divers, perhaps most, make out better renting since they don't have to pay the cost of the tank, annual visual, and five year hydro.Dick-NY once bubbled...

That's one of the questions you need to ask at the place you are going to get air.Dick-NY once bubbled... What is the cost of renting ?

This can be hard, there is only one dive shop (that I know of) in my diving area that rents steel tanks, so I found it safer to buy one so that I don't have to worry about availability.
Good luck

... if you'll be flying to dive, as I usually go - forget owning. Tanks are too difficult to fly, and Dive Operators usually furnish them on charters anyway.[/SIZE]
