Hello all,

Well my new roommate is moving in this weekend and he and I are both =
aspiring DIR style divers.  We have had some brief conversations about =
setting up helium and O2 banks in our garage to do our own fills and =
mixes.

Now having never done this before I was wondering if anyone has a FAQ on =
the equipment we are going to have to buy, any best practices for doing =
this from folks who have done it before, any books, computer programs, =
etc. that we should have, as well as any experienced opinions or just =
lessons learned from mistakes made in setting something like this up =
before.

We dive frequently in the Monterrey Bay area of California where the =
water temps range from 47 F to 55 F year round so we also plan to have =
an argon bottle in the garage for our dry suits as well.

Thanks for all the help!
Stefan.
