Wazee Oct 9/10

[LKunze]

Depends on how much you plan to dive. I had two tanks for my first couple years diving. I found that for frequent trips to Wazee, Crosby, Superior etc. that I needed another one. If I make trips like that where I'm going to drive a considerable distance I want to get in three dives in a day to make the trip worth it. To get in three dives with decent surface intervals you don't want to have to waste time going into town for fills which can take awhile, especially in the summer when the shops are busy. It's more costly in the long run to have to run into town to the shops for fills when doing the out of towners than it is just to buy the extra tank. It'll pay for itself pretty quickly. Three tanks has been a good number for me. I still have to go in for fills one time on camping trips where I'm diving both Saturday and Sunday but that's not so bad. One more tank would be perfect. Another thing to consider is getting a couple large steel tanks like Faber 108's or PST E8-119 or E8-130's. You can easily get two solid dives out of those tanks on one fill.
