What are up going to buy or upgrade next?

For me it will be a tank or two and it will have to be soon.

My old alum 80 tank (1975) just went out of visual today and goes out of hydro this next month, since it is so old I am going to retire it from service and donate it to Scuba Widow for the scuba room This will make a matching set of lamps for her now.

Wow you turn scuba tanks into lamps? I guess all you need is to drill a hole make sure the neck is wide enough for it to be adapted.

Yes, he does. We are decorating our spare bedroom in a scuba diving and underwater world type thing. We have a scuba tank rack that is made out of wood that is going to be a footboard for the bed, the scuba lamps and we are going to make a bank and a mailbox out of two other tanks. We also have the rope from the movie The Abyss. I work for a vet that had a room in the animal clinic painted by a local artist that will be doing some special artwork in the room for me.

i think my next big purchase is a reefmaster camera.. ST has the 500 on sale and it's hard to put together a digital/housing combo for that price!... of course, there could be another BC (Zena) for DISNEYMOM, once she sells the Athena, then disneydaughter may want to gear up as well...We also need more luggage to haul our gear on trips, and there's always the USB cable for our matching atmos 2 comps.....(that'll be my $50 GC purchase....).. maybe a 5-7 mil wetsuit as the weather gets colder.. then there's all those accessories!!!... Clearly, a credit card isn't going to get me there... looks like a second mortgage!!!

Next "big" purchase should be to "go hoseless" with computer. Who knows what will come up though?
