Some local Quarries and Frog Ponds

I live in a land locked place so sometimes I cannot dive in Florida or the Great Lakes.  Here are some of the pics from some of those dirty low viz cold quarries and frog ponds.

The "OMS Triples" are very heavy. At least 6 lbs heavier than orig USD triples.

I am using some 46 cf tanks from OMS. The manifold was made by Tom Madere and is 3/4 inch o ring, so no pipe thread issues!
