My wife naively thinks that I have a large collection of Scuba gear... she doesn't understand that this is just my AOW stuff. Don't tell her what it will look like after cavern. I'll be grounded. Feel free to donate any unwanted, unused items that you don't see. I'll gladly take anything and everything you no longer want.
Yeah I sat down and did quick math on the cost of the gear on a average cave setup was. And the price was....high lol. Nice thing is tho, if it is maintained then it will last for many many years.Originally Posted by FreeDiver

Sludge, can't say i've had a spool failure, but I change mine out every year whether they need it or not because they take some serious abuse. Do the same on my reg hoses after I had the first failure on that *apparently 4 years and a few hundred dives without giving it some TLC will wear an O-ring out....*
oh, don't worry about AL80's for your first tanks. I don't recommend them for OW guys as first tanks because they will become mostly useless if using them as singles, but for those getting into technical diving, you can always use them for stages and/or deco bottles like was said above. If they're in good shape, hold onto them. I'm actually at the point where I need to get rid of some steel tanks and start swapping them for aluminums.....
Well well well, what kind of steels you wanting to get rid of? Lol
Why did you post this? why?
Now I'm sitting here with a scratch pad and calculator and this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I've done something really really bad.
Lmao. Y'all should have already known better. I'm into the thousands and mine all fits in two dive bags. Can't imagine these guys with dive trailers... haha. Hell, one scooter would double my investment. Somebody buy my Harley so I can reinvest the money. I use "reinvest" loosely of course.
The following are 1)just my clear regulators, 2)what I generally take when I go to cave country, and 3) most of my cylinders. Welcome to my world.
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
Holy. Crap. It's not out of the question that of I didn't have my car addiction prior to this that I could have something comparible. Everytime I need money for something, I sell a car. Lol. Before I was 20 I had already purchased over a dozen autos... a 2006 subaru wrx sti, three Nissan 240sx (all turboed and sr20 swapped), turboed a corolla, a 47, 48, 51, and 53 chevy truck, 81 Suzuki bike, 2010 harley, 09 camry, 04 chevy truck, 2012 turbo beetle, 1970 vw beetle....
Still have a few of them. My rule is that it has to be turboed. Sometimes I think about all the important stuff I could have purchased instead. Ha
Im only up to 3 80's and 1 40 lol. One day I may have what you have lol

Just look at it as a reason to keep diving lol. "Well I have already bought it, surely I can't let it go to waste...." lol
