For what it's worth my config is: - Steel tanks because steel has better buoyancy characteristics (negative) - Doubles for enough air for deco or bottom times - DIN manifold because they are slicker than yokes - Isolator manifold for redundancy What size would depend on what kind of diving you do. 95-104's are sufficient for most dives (bottom air in doubles, stages for deco). 120's if you are a hoover or go really deep or really long. - LP's are generally better than HP's for easy fills, less rust - Scubapro, SeaElete, Diverite manifolds are the only ones worth a damn - Diverite bands are the best - only difference between 200 and 300 bar DIN is thread depth, you can use a yoke plug with the 200's (great for fills when they have 8 yoke whips and only 1 DIN whip) - Isolator manifold is a must for true redundant systems - Independent doubles are only used by idiots Jim On 7/10/97 3:20 PM jtshepherd1@mm*.co* wrote: >Could someone give me an overview of tanks or point me in the correct >direction to find out for myself? >I am curious about: reasons for choosing, sizes, Alu, Steel, DIN, >valves, manifolds, etc. >Thanks, >Josh Shepherd > >-- >Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. >Send list subscription requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
