(Subject: Re: 120 cuft cilinders: Gene):-

  > The drawback is [that 120 cu.ft cylinders] are HEAVY when on deck (or
especially on a beach dive). But the way I see it, the fewer number of times I
have to break down and then re-assemble my gear, the more relaxed I feel
(higher dive time to gear work ratio). Beware, these cylinders (either one)
can easily get you into decompression if you are not prepared for it, and if
you are, lots of air for your hang.

  Much easier with an automatic mixture rebreather, far longer duration per
weight! If you have a long-duration rebreather, say 12 hours, it will last for
several dives without having to carry loose spare tanks etc and muck about
with them in a pitching boat or risk losing them.
