Hi,

My name is Pat Moran. I usually just lurk and try to soak up as much 
valuable info as possible, but I have a question that I would like some 
opinions on.
 
I am a Northeast Atlantic wreck diver and am looking for insight into 
different setups for decompression tanks and appropriate regs. I am  
diving intermediate depths (130-170), using air (will be switching 
to mix asap), nitrox for hangs (1.4 PO2 max), and still limiting myself 
to hangs of around 30-40 min -nothing fancy- but will be extending my 
depth/range at some point.

I have recently gotten some cash together, and would like advice about 
the various characteristic of 
various setups used for decompression (ie: OMS 45s, aluminum 40s or 80s, 
steel 72s, etc. and appropriate regs that will carry me eventually into 
more extended hangs -read bottomm times).
 
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the tanks, what do you (all) use 
and why, are there other options that I am not aware of????

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated

Pat
