Not quite...you are only carrying slightly less than an additional 4cuft (3.89610 cuft) in the steel 80 versus the AL 80. The fill pressure is just shy of 20% difference; 3550psi is about 18.333% greater than 3000psi. The higher fill rating on the steel cylinder is what allows you to carry an equal amount of gas in a smaller container.
Actually PB, a tank is a vessel for containing non-pressurized liquids; a cylinder is the proper vessel for containing gases under pressure (sorry, but after your reply I just couldn't let that one slip by )
There are LP and HP 120's out there (the LP version being a heavy mutha!) These behemouths can't be beat for longer dives when they are pumped up to around 4000psi (if you know of anyone looking to get rid of a couple of those monsters, I would love to add a pair to the collection.)
Of course I brings SOME air back, not a lot, but it’s pretty hard to run out of bottom time during lobster season when the majority of my dives are pretty shallow looking for bugs. There is just always the question, of how much some will be
My, oh my, oh my, oh my!!!!
Your issues with the dive boats in California, land of the vanishing dream, would obviously be your particular issue. That was not, is not, will not, be the subject of the question and answers. What happens there is not what happens every where else! We, here in Florida, while having difficulty counting ballots, have mastered the art of truth telling with regards to tank filling and advertising. Thank you for pointing out that my memory of 72's was off slightly.
Thank-you, Rubber chicken, for correcting me on the metric equivalents of volume and pressure. Proving in the process the superiority of the metric system. My bad!
One other thing, the minute we set fingers to keyboard, we invite critique of our statements.......food for thought
We call it the water heater! The wight I carry in total doesn't change as you know, just the amount on my belt! But with camera in hand I can use all the extra time I can get to get the shot. For Cave I like 105s! Hard to beat and not quite as big as the "Water Heater"!
