Glad to see there are some divers out there with good taste in trucks I dive as well...I live near Boston, I work with a local dive shop as well as the YMCA as a divemaster. Let me know if you wanna dive man...there is some great diving up in Cape Ann where I usually dive...as well as Cape Cod. Although the ocean is pretty cold now...I haven't gotten my drysuit yet. Send me a PM...next dive on my list is the U-853.

Dry suit??????? I like my 7mm wet. I dive every new years day at Willow Springs in PA. I have no problem with cold and I am working on my nitrox cert now. I dive for 2 Fire Departments, 1 in NJ and 1 in DE. Let me look at finances and I will let you know if I can head your way for some dive time.

I used to dive, but not anymore.

I remember when I was doing my OW Cert, I carried all the tanks in my '91 Sierra, talk about some weight, I had over 30 tanks in the bed.

30 tanks? That is a lot. I put 8 in my '98 with mine and a friends gear and I am bottoming out on expansion joints!! So I added air bags. Then I blew one, so it got replaced. And I blew it again. So they replaced it again. And it blew again. So I trashed the system and am currently looking for helper springs, you know the kind that clip on to the leafs.

Helper springs at: http://www.supersprings.com/

They're bolt-on (no drilling needed), do-it-yourself types.

There are some cheaper kinds at J.C. Whitney, and a few other places. But they affect the ride quality loaded or unloaded. The Super Spring version doesn't have hardly any effect on the ride when unloaded.
