Heading out to Socorro, I am wondering based on the dive profile and the underwater condition, would I need nitrox and maybe even large tank.
I am less concerned about NDL on repetitive dives if it is only 3 dives a day, and if we just hang out in the blue, I can hang 10 ft higher. But if there are lots of dives that have square profiles at 90 ft, then nitrox seems to be a must.
Also, if the dives are long and deep, or always fighting the current where my SAC might shoot up and I might have to opt for a large tank. I do have a camera setup and assume my SAC would be affected by it. Is there alot of chasing pelagic? From the few videos I saw, there seem to be alot of chasing and harassing of mantas. If they come by, I would take my pictures calmly, but if they are constantly chased away by other photographers, then I would have to join them, otherwise I would get no shots.
