Ok, I have too much time to think and browse the internet so bear with =
me.  BTW thanks to everyone about the fins question.

So I was talking with my Girlfriend's father, and ex-fireman, about =
scuba and he asked me a question that I thought to put to the list.

How come we don't use carbonfiber wrapped high pressure cylinders?  They =
are smaller and get hold gas at a higher pressure safer, hence why the =
fire department uses them (so I was told).  Does anyone have any insight =
on this?

Thanks as always,
Stefan.
