Seriously, "hogarthian" is not in play here, but the fact is that white tanks are a good idea so you can see your buddy better, especially if his light fails or the vis is bad. You can see him further away when searching for something, like we do all the time in the ocean, and in the caves. For ocean, I use a white body on my scooter for that reason. My cave tanks are white, my ocean tanks and doubles are white, my rebreather tanks are white. I have 104's that are grey, but they are original galvanized, otherwise I do have one set that I blasted and had painted white for that very reason. My first set of 19 liters came black, but I immediately painted them white. I know this stroke from Australia was just being a resentful little prick like they all tend to be at first, but the fact is that most people, like the stroke, can't think ahead to the next move anyqay, and see doing it right as a big joke, until they have to get out the escuse list ofr their stone cold dead blue buddies, and they don't play the game the way I do , but then they don't get the fun that I do because they are too busy working their own personal stroke hell that they created for their ignorant selves inbeteen charlie foxtrots.
