Subject: Re: o2 for ocean deco
30 Luxfer to 2000 . That is 20 cu ft. That is a very long time. The
convenience and ease of using Luxfer 40's and 30's is a lot safer than
using steels or big tanks. 40's and 30's can also be pulled so easily
from the hip, where the larger tanks drag down. They are easy to walk
around the boat with, and to get out of the water with - a big
consideration in ocean diving.

A 40 of 50/50 and a 30 of oxygen makes ocean deco diving a lot more fun
and much more practical.
