Or filled in a water tank. I don't have my own compressor but none of the local dive shops seem to have a problem filling my tanks. Getting back to the LP95/HP119, how can the LP95 be preferable to the HP119 when they're bascially the same tank with a different burst disk? The 119 has 95 cu. ft. of gas at 2640, 107 cu. ft. at 3000 and 119 cu. ft at 3442 psi.
Just wondering what shop you use?
I have a friend going to St. Lucia for a vacation shortly.
I'm not an expert on this. My wife & I just switched over to Steel Tanks 2 months ago. I wish I had switched sooner. We had alum 80's. Actual capacity on an alum 80 is 77 CUft. On our steel 80's it is 80 CUft.Pressure rating for our Alum 80 was 3000 psi on our steel 80 it is 3550 psi. So I am carrying 20% more air in a much smaller tank. The steel tank is 9 inches shorter than the equiv. Alum tank. I was able to shed 8 pounds of lead from my belt, I now dive with only 4 lbs instead of 12 lbs and I do not go buoyant and the end of my dive. Pamela has shed all her weights. Lets see... mmmm... lighter smaller package that carries 20% more air and lets me shed up to 10 lbs weight. Since you have to wear a tank anyway - It's a no brainer Steel ROCKS!! We do a lot of deep wreck diving, I find myself surfacing with 1500 - 1600 psi after a deep wreck dive, the extra air increases my safety margin, and the higher capacity in the smaller package has made our diving experience much more satisfying.
Lotte as long as you learned and everything is clarified, the post was well worth it!
