you are diving dry, right ? steels with a wetsuit is a huge no-no since you can't swim them up, particularly in OW. I have a set of 95's that I use for OW with a drysuit, and 3 sets of 104's that I use for cave and OW also with a drysuit. With the 95's I need a little extra weight, due to the buoyancy charachteristics of the tanks, if the water is very cold so I can blow more air in the suit to keep myself warm. The 104's have favorable buoyancy charachteristics for drysuit diving and since_you_won't be using the steels with a wetsuit (right ?) then might as well get the 104's. Get a set of AL80's for wetsuit diving. I am a girl, 5'4" and 110-115 lb. and the 104's are 'not an issue'. It sucks carrying them, but that is all and I just wear them if I have to carry them more than a short ways. Just get the 104's - it's a much better tank (there was a thread on this not long ago as well). I got the 95's before I knew any better. --pina ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Silvers <rsilvers@ph*.co*> To: Robert Silvers <rsilvers@ph*.co*>; <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2000 8:20 PM Subject: 95 or 104 doubles? > I want to get a set and I know most people say 104s but what about 95s?
