Subject: Re: Tanks

	I might get flamed for this but...if you don't have doubles yet,
	you might just want to buy the manifold and another Al 80 or
	find a pair of st-72's and use them at first. This way you will
	get used to dbl's and when you get more exp and perhaps use some
	other tanks you can make a decision that has some reason to it.
	The extra tanks can be used for stage/deco bottles.
	I just posted to cavers about the b-plate from Mr Diver in
	Tenn., It is $30 and is solid and they have the 7 ft lp hoses
	for $30 also. Both are good products.
	Just make sure you get the correct thread tanks andmake your own
	harness from G's pic on Bentley's web page, the OMS bands
	are expensive but seriously strong.
	The Pressed Steel tanks are what I use (120's), but they are too
	big if your are short. Hope this helps, now I will don the
	asbestos-EZ
