I want to get a pony/back-up tank. I do dive with a partner, But I also like to be self sufficient. Better to depend on myself 1st. There are numerous sizes and configurations. I just cannot seem to sort it out. A LP30 seems sufficient. Not sure best way to mount or carry. I want it to be a none...

I recently watched a James Bond Classic " Thunderball" It was Awesome.The majority of the action scenes were underwater and Diving. Good guys, red wet suits and white double tanks- Bad guys black wet suits and black double tanks. The filming was awesome. All of the divers had just a simple...

We are thinking about diving this area. Can I get recommendations for Dive centers and reefs and wrecks to dive? We are OW certified not advanced. Comfortable to 75-80 feet max.

Thanks everybody, I picked up 4ea, 1lb , I should be able to sort it out now.

I am presently diving with 10lb, using a AL80 tank. Neutral buoyant. I weigh 210# and wear an 3mm XL. The Dive Center/boat that I am diving with this weekend does not loan weights. So I need to purchase ahead of time. I'm guessing maybe 4lb.

Definitely want to go with a Steel tank , I changed the title. I know the steel tank cost more, this is why I am searching here. Versus new.

I would like to fill with Nitrox also. so it needs to be O2 certified. Please

Hey, I have figured out I am an Air Hog. I have been online looking at the Faber 100, 120, 139 tanks. Is it worth the money to go with a 139 or should I just go with a 100?? I did dive a 100 in Pompano and I had plenty of air and stayed down as long as everyone else diving 80s. An 80 just...

Please , give me more Info?

As in Lovers Key in Bonita Springs??

Hey, I want to Thank everyone . The comments and Advise are awesome I have gained alot of good info. And I will definitely make the best of it.

Yep, Sometimes diving with a guide sucks. Every time I stop to look at something or shoot a photo or video, I have to then chase after the guide or be left behind. Uses up allot of air chasing the guide.

Yep, We were diving with the Pompano Dive center. The United Caribbean the first day and the Sea Emperor the second. The current was raging too. It was great, went to 70' + for the first time the 3 minute safety stop ran me almost out the first dive AL80, the second dive steel 100cu no problem...

Hi, I am 55 years old, 6', 220 lb and I have been tri- training since I was in my twenties. I run, swim, and bike regularly. Not nearly as much as I did when I was younger, of course. I also run my own Karate Dojo and I am a assistant coach at a boxing gym. I also actively practice meditation...

I/we just did our first dives in excess of 70 feet and we did a 3 minute safety stop at 15 feet and my Suunto Zoop was recommending this stop for 3 minutes. This is a good habit I presume for this depth.

Thanks for the advise. I'm going to give my LDS a call.

I/we are contemplating buying a Ocean Reef G-diver FFM with the coms package. It will run us about $1000 each. My dive buddy has a problem getting a good mask fit(always leaking ) and I am just tired of swallowing salt water. The FFM seems like a great alternative. No leaking, no salt water up...

I am not. I worry more about getting left behind or losing the dive boat. I bought a emergency Nautilus Lifeline GPS (problem solved). We live in Southwest FL and will primarily being diving the Keys and probably the Caribbean. I know the chances of having an issue with a shark are about as...
