I own steel HP100's and couldn't be happier with them. The relatively small size and negative bouyancy are nice. Naturally when I travel to faraway places I have to dive what's on the boat, and that's usually AL80's.

It's not the destination, it's the journey.
The Aluminum 100's suck for one reason they fill at 3300 psi. So on a boat you get 3000 that cools to 2850psa you have a huge 80 anyway. I have both, but really like my LP95 and my LP120 both steel for the longer times I might need to get the "Shot". Aluminum 80's are great for cold water, you don't have to stay down as long. I have posted this before, but LP is the way to go because you can get a good fill anywhere.
Bama, 4000 isn't an over fill at all! 4100 maybe! Right?

I own an ALUM 100 and 80's and LP 108's and HP 100's ... As papa said, the HP's are hard toOriginally Posted by papa
get a good fill.. The LP are easy to get a good fill.
If I had to choose my tanks over again, I would go for the LP98's and crank them up to 2449lbs... (lol).

My favorite all time tank shore or boat is the LP steel 95!

Fit, buoyancy, just enough extra air in cold water! LOL I wish Live a boards would use them! You would almost not need any additional wight! Maybe 8 to 10lbs and your good to go!
