UWS Divers Fair Deals
UWS Divers Fair Deals
So, I'm considering adding a couple more tanks to my fleet of annual VIP headache children, and am wondering if any of y'all in the know have any tips on whether the tanks at the Diver's Fair are a screaming deal each year or are they just a so so deal? It's been ages since I bought new tanks and I suppose if they're a great deal at the fair then I'll aim to pick some up there, or if not I'll comb CL for the right pair.

I'd watch CL for used Worthington's and PST's. The Fabers don't have the nice buoyancy characteristics these two have.
Re: UWS Divers Fair Deals
I bought my tanks many fairs ago, if I remember they were a good deal at UWS. I didn't shop around so I'm not sure. I'd check a few other LDS's before I commit.
Pop tarts and gravy,
It's what's for breakfast.

In the Diver's Fair flyer I picked up last week, they list a Faber HP100 for $295.00 ea.
Dive Gear Express is listing the Faber HP100s for $385.00 ea.
The numbers on the HP100 tank from the DGE webpage:
F7 Steel HP100 Press: 3442 Dia.:7.25 Hgt: 25.3 Weight: 34.0 Full- 8.4 Empty - 0.6

Awesome. That's very helpful. No mention of 119s or sizes other than HP100 eh?McGlencoe wrote:In the Diver's Fair flyer I picked up last week, they list a Faber HP100 for $295.00 ea.

Not in their flyer. Bellevue Divers is having a sale through July - their 133's are $349, 100's $299, but no mention of 119's for them either.Tangfish wrote:

Come to the nerd side, we have pi!
Re: UWS Divers Fair Deals
also worth cross shopping at some of the other shops that might have had a sale earlier in the year. at a minimum, some have been known to at least match prices. just saying.
But seriously, Folks

Re: UWS Divers Fair Deals
By the time you pay for shipping and a VIP (if you don't do them yourself) you're not saving much if anything over local sale prices, unfortunately.Rooinater wrote:http://www.divers-supply.com/faber-fx-h ... -tank.html

We currently do not have the 119s in stock, but there is a large order from Blue Steel (the white Faber) coming in early August (mostly 100s and 3L RB tanks) and there is still time to add to it.
thanks,

When is the sale?
Re: UWS Divers Fair Deals
The Bellevue Divers sale is now through the end of July (given our prices, as we say, we got a year-round divers' fair)
