I know, right? WTF is 'general rec diving' at 140 ft??? This thread is ridiculous and is an oxymoron as far as I am concerned, considering the underlying assumption here. If I were doing a "recreational" (no-deco, no overhead - as far as I know that is the definition of a recreational dive) dive to 140 feet, I would use AN (that means -- ONE) aluminum 80 with 21-35 in it. Anything longer or any overhead and two aluminum 80's with 21-35 would do it. Where did the freaking steel tanks come from in the first place??? I hope and assume this must mean you are diving in cold water with a drysuit... --pina -----Original Message----- From: Steve Schultz [mailto:se2schul@bl*.ma*.uw*.ca*] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 11:27 AM To: TASAZ@ao*.co* Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re:Tanks I'm strong enough and still dive 104's. 104's hold a lot of gas, even for " general rec diving about 140 ft" and deeper. You might have trouble managing 121's on a tossing boat. Smaller tanks are just more enjoyable to dive... but then again, so is a little helium on those " general rec diving about 140 ft" ss On Wed, 17 Oct 2001, Paul Braunbehrens wrote: > 121 weighs more.
