I am headed out on the Oddysey in two weeks for a tour of the Truk wrecks. Though I am going with Olympus Dive Center in NC, I made all of my equipment reservations through Cliff at their home office in Florida. He will have sorb reserved for me. Though, they do not have rebreather (Inspiration style) tanks on board. They do have 30 cu ft aluminums setup for air and O2, used as swing tanks for the OC tech divers. I changed out the house clamps to 5.5 inches on my HH's metalsub mounts and am prepared to mount 30's there, and in the event they do not have the 30's I am prepared with hoses to swing an 02 tank. (Some saw my other post regarding this). I plan on bringing my O2 valve and cleared it with Cliff that I can swap it out with their valve, if for some reason I can not swap valves I'll just dive their tanks with the valve pointing straight back.

With all off the reservations, they warned me that there still is a possbility that O2 may not be available. Cliff said it hasnt happened yet, but could.
I will bring OC gear, and open mind, and a sense of humor.

I will post a full trip report on my return in about a month,
