I'm prepping for the lake clean-up this Sunday, soooooo I'd like to get wet with Lake Travis Scuba this coming Saturday morning 9/14 and check out my gear. Robert will take us out if we can get at least 3 divers, but he's an awesome guy that deserves a full boat when he works so come sign up...

+1 Getting larger capacity HP tanks does a few things for those of us that chow down AL80's with haste at depth. When we look at the math, consider our responsibilities to our dive buddies, and plan out each dive with the objective of getting the most out of every moment then HP tanks...

Ohhh mayn!!! Drive up, log in, select method of payment, fill up to XXXX (you know :eyebrow: ) ... and head for the water. It just doesn't get easier than that. I bought my Faber 133's off of Wayne at a damn good price, and he showed me on the official Faber warranty card that accompanied...

I'm in for any of the three days that'll happen. I'm reserved for the daytime run, but a lil night divin' off'n a charter boat would be purrrrrrfectamundo :D Jut sayin'

Near the lake? ... Scubaland 11416 620N, Ste J, Austin (512) 257-2000 Scubaland is just north of the lake on 620 if you're coming from that direction. Suite B 6156 West Highway 290, Austin, TX 78735-8619 (512) 892-4900 Scubaland is closest to the lake, but closest is relative...

I just need few more things Robert and I'll be all set :eyebrow:

I suspect there will be gear for sale/trade (I'll have some for sure) that you might could test out. I started out a few years ago thinking I'd get just the gear I needed with no "extra" by doing some solid research and frugal renting :rofl3: Now I've got way over $10K worth of gear I never...

I'll be doing home brewed on the way across town so no Starbucks needed for me Shawn, but 10AM is doable.

Taco Cabana tortillas will be on the menu ... I'll bring several dozen and maybe a desert too.

+1 for Chris joining the weekend's fun :cool3:

Hello Even. How deep we go is based on our training, but ultimately limited by physics. Recreational divers with advanced open water training are limited to about 40 meters or 120 feet. With basic open water training the limit is 20 meters or 60 feet. Our young divers age 12 and under are...

What are you looking to buy from this C'list person? ... many of us have enough gear to start our own scuba store and can prolly hook ya up with none of that C'list risk.

compton384 you're gut instincts are right about C'list. Out of town "deals" are just too risky with -no- controls or protections. Once you send the money ... it's gone and really, there's just to much equipment out there that you can get great deals on with far less risk than you'll take buy...

I picked up the ScubaPro MK25/S600 from John over at Scubaland on 620 in Austin Tx after seeing how well it config'd in his very light weight and seriously streamlined doubles kit. Once I got it home and got to setting my kit up I really loved how well the ports on the 1st stage allowed me to...

:eyebrow: nice ta meet ya fire_diver, but now I've posted so much in here I feel compelled to actually put something up related to the OP's question. Hate it when that happens :cool2: My answer to the OP's question? ... do it all ... LDS AND online sites like leisure pro as well as the...

:homealone: Awesome fire_diver!! ... Maybe we can knock back a few someday :D

<--- Lives in Elgin ATM. Welcome to SB Longshot270 :beerchug: We have a great local dive community!! One of our local dive options is Lake Travis Scuba. Robert runs the dive charter on the lake and he's just plain awesome. Have you checked out The Texas Flower Garden Marine...

:thumb: :thumbs_down: :trainwreck: While we expound on the forever unresolvable topic of LDS-vs-Online gear purchasing we might could also cover the always exciting conversation on split fins. :popcorn: :rofl3: Debate? :deadhorse: :outtahere: :happywave:

Should this thread be closed? Seems like the topic has been well addressed. IMHO the ensuing "commentary" can offer nothing more to what has already been posted as an answer to the OP's original question.

Florida ... from Jupiter down through Key Largo ... provides a ton of safe inexpensive diving options. You'd enjoy some awesome dives in warmer water on quality charters. If you work with SB members you'll get the advantage of local help and invites to make the trip a total blast!!
