[PSUBS-MAILIST] Shell, downsizing

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Rick,
can you do a Padi emergency O2 providers course on Oahu?
It only took me a couple of nights of about 2hrs each night.
The reason I went that way is that I knew With that cert. I could get O2 throughout
the country from dive stores that had O2. Plus, as you say, the Aluminium 
tanks are suitable for a marine environment.
The other option is to get a mate who is a technical diver to fill them for you.
BTW they only fill them with O2 to 2000psi.
Alan

Seems crazy that you can go out and but an assault rifle after passing a background check without proving to them you know how to use it and then shoot up the town but they make it so hard to purchase 02!

I've been inquiring into a truck strong enough to haul my sub but it turns out all the older trucks are now banned in Kalifornia,  there are trucks around but they are illegal to have on the road, really sucks.  So I guess in the long run I'm better off just hiring somebody to haul it .   This state is so messed up.   Also I'm doing an extreme downsizing , I'm moving out of my rented shop and just going to my house now to work from.  I'll be keeping the sub on the side part of our property.  I'm kind of re leaved to get out of that shop simple because I've accumulated so much crap !   Better to simplify things.
