Hdigh???

This post is aimed at those curious about geting into tech diving and what is involved. The usual comments about training, mentor, and a pile of money apply. As I started getting my gear aquared away to dive in FLA for 10 days I was shocked. The question came to mind, How did I get here!!!.

The spare room in my house is now beter stocked than the local rec dive shop. 4 sets of doubles, 2 lp 120's, 2 hp 120's, a stray lp 72, 1 al 80, and 6 stage bottles. 8 first stages, 12 second stages, a collection of spare hp and lp hoses, dry suit with 3 different sets of underwear, yada yada. All this coupled with the fact that it took me four hours to pump the gas required.

So this is just a reflection of where you are headed if on the tech road. I try not to think about the pile of money that it represents as it makes me feel guilty about telling my wife we do not need a new refrigerator. lol

I hear you! 33 tanks (six sets of doubles), 19 regulators (it's actually quite a few more than that, but I'm not counting the ones that we are "going to sell"), two scooters, a broad assortment of reels and spools, seven undergarments, four dry suits, and six canister lights between the two of us.

It's why everybody snickers when people get exercised about the cost of the classes . . .

If you NEED a refrigerator, buy a refrigerator. If you don't NEED a refrigerator; buy her a scooter. It's not your fault she doesn't use it.
