Subject: Re: Argon bottle size
ALL my diving is ocean.
I'm NEW to dry suits.

What I use is mostly a 6 cf al bottle in the wreck config.
OR if say i'm on a boat all day trip with no fills on board I use a 13 cf
al cylinder in wreck config.

Either will last me for 3 dives to 110 ft which is my usual max.

Safe Diving.
