Hi Alec, thank you for writing me.
  You are right on all accounts I am not a diver but I need to ask this 
question; why scuba air for the  ballast tanks? The power plant I work at 
has air dryers and ultra fine filters for equipment and we also use a 
special filter/dryer set up for hazmat repair and rescue. I will ask the 
safety guy who and where he fills the scba suit that I wear for emergency 
shut downs and hazzard releases.
            I live in northern minnesota and there are no submarines here. 
the original owner(he moved away) said that at the time of registration 
(1983) the DNR said it was the only one registered in the state. But who 
knows.
   The O-rings, gaskets, sealtite wiring, etc are going to be replaced 
along with the plumbing , but I have to be honest with you on the view 
ports, there thirteen years old  in beautiful shape (no scratches) and 
havent seen the light of day since 1996. I doubt they will be replaced this 
year. The one dive I want to make before dog days turns the local lakes 
green is a spot that I am familer with and is 15 feet deep, all sand with 
little weeds. If I enjoy the experience Ill keep at it, buy new view ports 
and support equipment,  if I dont,  its going on ebay.
