One of the side effects of diving, is you tend to accumulate a lot of dive gear.  This is especially true as you start taking pictures underwater, and get into the technical side of diving.  Every diver has to figure out where to store, hang and dry all that dive gear.  With Janet and I both diving, we have at least two sets of everything.

To the left, you can see how we store our tanks, weights, fins, rock boots, lights and spare parts.  The picture at the bottom of the page shows the cabinets which hold our Oxygen meter, stage hardware, trans-fill whip, hoses and boat parts.  Those are Janet's HP-100's and HP-80's in the Pelican rack, and my double E-8 119's sitting on the saw horse along with my Faber LP-80's sitting on the floor.  The milk crate holds our weigh pouches and belts alone with our ankle weights, anti-fog drops, clip weights, etc.

The rest of the gear lives in our downstairs bathroom ( see picture below ).  Fortunately, we have 3 full bathrooms, so have converted the downstairs bathroom to a dive cleaning and hanging room.  I installed a closet rod along the ceiling of the bath and shower, and we use that to hang our dry suits, buoyancy compensators, hoods, gloves and booties.  I have also installed some large foam covered hangers on the back wall that we use to hang our regulators after they have been soaked in the tub ( which is how I clean the camera and all the rest of our gear when we come back from diving ).

Our house guests are always a little surprised when they venture into the downstairs bathroom and find that it has been taken over by dive gear, but it works for us.  Of course that's Janet's "very PINK" dry suit and my DUI flex 50/50 in the picture to the right.   Hanging along the back wall are 4 sets of regulators, Janet's Atomic B1, my Atomic M1 and B1 and the Apeks D4 for my deco bottle.

Janet is still using her Oceanic DataMax Proplus dive computer, but she's on her third one, and we carry my old DataMax along for a spare.  The high pressure quick disconnect makes swapping out the air-integrated computer easy, which is good, as these have been problematic units.   I'm using a Suunto Vitec, usually with a transmitter, and it has performed flawlessly.  I love watching your deco time drop nearly in half when you do a gas switch to 50% Oxygen.

Janet likes her PST HP-100's, and dives them almost all of the time.  I usually dive my double Faber LP-80's (the blue tanks in the pictures), and save the big beasts ( E-8 119's ) for deep dives where I need lots of gas.  They hold 240 cubic feet when pressed up.  That's a whole lot of geezer gas.

I actually had to build a custom tank rack that fits on top of the sawhorse, for the 119's.  They are very heavy (125 lbs when full, with the backplate and regulators) so the rack makes it much easier to get into and out of the harness when shore diving.  When were diving from the Zodiac, you just sort of "fall" into the water.
