I know a guy up here who dives twin AL 100's.  He dives a drysuit and wears
a ton of weight on his belt.

Also, these operate at high pressure.  They fill to 3300 psi.  LP tanks are
more desireable, and will last longer.

List,
It seems like whenever anyone talks about using a set of doubles, they are 
ether referring to LP (2400psi) steel 95's, 104's etc.  What about using Al 
100's (3000 psi)?  What would be the pro's & con's ?  It would seem as 
though their "out of water" weight would be less than steels. Does anyone 
have any info on the buoyancy properties of a set up like this?

Thanks in advance,
Harrison
