Ben, On wreck we use the 6 cu.ft AL tank mounted on the left side for argon (and have been doing so for years). It provides enough gas for several dives considering you only need to add enough gas to prevent squeeze and compression of the undergarment. You can purge your suit on the surface prior to the dive from a larger cylinder if you feel it necessary (and refill the 6 cu.ft). It will still give you ample gas to loft your suit on deco. 'And you can always snap in your lP inflator hose if needed. IMHO, Doug Chapman --------------------------------------------- From: Ben Greenhouse Hi Everyone I've been wreck diving with an 15 CU FT 2015 PSI LUXFER argon tank using the Halcyon Velcro straps. I know that last year George said something about going to a waist mounted argon tank for wreck diving, and it seemed to make sense, but I never got around to changing. I was diving this weekend, and a few of my dive buddies had switched, and it looked really compact so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm looking at my gear now though, and I'm thinking that my current Argon tank is too big for the waist mounted system - is this true? What size is that in the images on the WKPP site George? I think that I might give it a try anyway, but was wondering what size people out there are using for waist mounted argon tanks.
