I don't know if this is where I should post this, but here goes.
I plan on diving some remote places this summer (and in the future) that are 3 to 4 hours from the closest dive shop. I really would rather not have to rent 12 tanks to be able to do the diving I want, especially since I want to keep them for 3 -4 days because I want to hang out and do other things after I dive a couple days.
So I'm thinking it would be really cool to have my own compressor, but know absolutely nothing about them!
I have a motorhome with large basement storage I was hoping I could install one in and take whereever I go.
Can anyone tell me what is the smallest compressor available and how much I can expect to pay for it? How big and how heavy would it be? How do they work, what runs them? (I'm sure it is electricity, but would a generator be strong enough?) What type of upkeep is needed for them, etc?
Any info you could tell me would be very much appreciated. :07:
