I will answer only at the last part of your message. > Are cylinders that big ever worn twinned? 20Ltr + Cylinders are bad news , even big dives 100m+ can be done with a pair of 15-18ltr and stage tanks. Look at the Big DIR dives on Britanic do you see any tanks that extend below the divers buttocks ? If you need more gas you can use properly labeled stage tanks with bottom gas in them.
