I DID own my own equipment, but, that was some years ago ---the tank was ng and the regulator is a scuba pro 7--somewhat of an OLDER model---renting would be the way to go if your only diving once in a while----
but, who wants to dive just once in a while!!!!

I own all my own gear. I was thinking of checking the tides and maybe hitting the basin at L street for a quick dive. Was gonna head back to the wreck this weekend but that will have to wait.

I WENT CRABBING 3 WEEKS AGO IN SHARK RIVER AND PULLED OUT A SEAHORSE IT IS
A FEMALE LINED SEAHORSE--hippocampus erectus family Syngnathidae--IT IS ABOUT 4 INCH. FROM HEAD TO TAIL. I WENT BACK TO TRY FOR MORE--I HAVE ROOM IN MY TANK FOR
MORE, BUT NO LUCK,I DID GET A NICE PIPERFISH.
I AM CYCLING ANOTHER TANK IN HOPE THAT I WILL FIND SOME MORE NICE SPECIMENS.
THERE WERE LOTS OF STARFISH AND HERMIT CRABS.

I FOUND HERMIT CRABS AND PUT THEM IN MY TANK WITH MY WILD CAUGHT SEAHORSE AND PIPER FISH THEY KEEP CHANGING SHELLS I PURCHASED AT THE DOLLAR STORE-
THEY ARE SO ENTERTAINING. BUT I WOULD KEEP THEM IN A SEPARATE TANK FOR WILD CAUGHT
FISH ONLY. (I WAS TOLD BY panmanmatt THAT WILD CAUGHT FISH CAN CARRY--worms and pathogens that captive ones have little, or no, resistance to.)
I WOULD BE WEARY OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT HERMIT CRABS MIGHT CARRY SOMETHING
THAT YOU DON'T WANT IN YOU TANK.
START A RIVER TANK FOR YOUR HERMIT CRABS SO YOU WONT BE ENDANGERING YOUR LIVESTOCK.
THAT IS WHAT I DID AND SO FAR EVERYONE IS DOING GOOD.

Lose the hermit crab fast. They crawl up the the houses and latch on with there heavy claw and start eating. I lost a few before i saw that happen and tossed them.

Here is a picture of the box fish we collected a few days ago. It is in my un lit, un filtered Long Island Sound tank which has raw NSW in it which is kind of green. I took the picture through a jewelers loupe but the fish never stops and is only a half inch long, the glass is also filthy. It is just an experimental tank so I don't go crazy on it.
