Hey Jammer,

I have a set of 72s.  They have HD burst disks, so I'll fill them to ~3000
PSI.  Only time I had a problem filling them to this pressure was at Blue
Water Diving in Missouri, that guy wouldn't do it.  So they're nice-feeling
tanks to dive with, not a lot heavier than a single 80 and _way_ better
balanced, but the thing I don't like is they'll get neutral or slightly
positive eventually, so I have to use my Tennant plate with them.  They're
good for doing a bunch of dives in a row without filling tanks, or for
dives where I'm getting into just a bit of deco, but I wouldn't use 'em for
cave diving, too small.  I suppose they'll make good O2 bottles someday...
