I have a question, I now own 3 80 CU. FT.scuba tanks pressurized to 1800 psi.
Is it legal to transport all of them in my personal truck at the same time,
if they are in good hydro tested date ? I live in the state of Louisiana.
Does anyone have a thought about this ?

None! Take/hire a DPV and use that - if you've never been on one it'll
will be worth the cost for the fun and the lack of pain on ankle!

> Which fins should I take?

I'd get a pair of Mares TRE fins and take them.

I don't know anything about the fins you have. The fact that one set of
fins is larger and requires booties that take up additional space may
provide much of your answer. Beyond that, try both in a pool somewhere and
make up your own mind. We can't possibly advise you as well as you can
advise yourself. You're in possession of the sore ankle.

I'm a warm water diver and have both Mares Power Quatros, Mares TRE fins.
The Quatros are a lot of fin to pack and a lot of fin to push, but their
power is awesome. The TREs are a great all around fin both for snorkeling
and diving. They're powerful enough for most of my diving and considerably
easier to pack. I use them for all diving except when I'm spearfishing or
planning on fighting strong currents.

I have had an annoying ankle sprain for about 2 months which is much
better now but I still have soreness in the ankle especially on the
"inside" below my ankle bone.

I am going to Bonaire on Saturday evening and have my Mares
"SuperChannel" Fins and Harvey's 6mm dive booties packed. I will be
doing "jump in the Caribbean" dives from the dock at the Divi Resort as
well as some boat dives of course.

I also have a pair of Oceanic "Caribe-X" closed fins which are much
lighter and am wondering if my ankle would fare better with these
lighter fins or should I stick with the Mares fins which are bigger and
heavier?

I am packed to the gills and have no room for both pairs and I don't
plan to do any walk-in shore diving so I don't have to have my heavy
duty booties unless I am using the Mares fins. In either case I will be
using a plastic brace to protect my ankle and to give some support.

Which fins should I take?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chopper

More working time is spent every year sitting in front of a computer
terminal or on the telephone, followed by driving home or sitting in a
train. At home, the temptation is greater than ever before to sit in
front of the widescreen television, with its superb picture and sound,
or to spend hours on the Internet or playing electronic games.
