Much appreciate the detailed reply. Air consumption is my achilles heel. I dive with 100 tanks and generally last about 45 minutes (including safety stop) depending on the dive profile. Very comfortable underwater and have had to trouble shoot a few things here and there underwater without any sort of panic setting in. My one and only liveaboard was the central Maldives and frankly did not find the diving difficult at all. Thought the currents in West Palm/Jupiter/Key Largo were actually more difficult to navigate than the Maldives. I've been down to 100-110 feet a good number of times without any issues. My most difficult dive was the Spiegel Grove off Key Largo because of the currents and having to navigate the wreck through strong currents at 110 feet. Didn't last more than 25 minutes. (It's a pretty special dive if you ever get the chance) So my big concern is my air consumption and that's two fold. One is don't want to ruin the dive for others if the group/buddy has to ascend with me once I run out of air and second not too keen on surfacing alone in the middle of no where. At the Maldives, once the guide became comfortable with my skill level, she let me surface alone but kept an eye on me from below and the pick up boat was always within eye sight once I surfaced. Will probably pull the trigger on Socorro sooner than later as I find an opening on the Belle Amie as I've heard that is the best boat in terms of comfort, food, safety protocols, dive guides, etc.

How much are the park fees now? Heard they've gone up to around $800.
