Harold, I use a 13 cu/ft (OMS) Argon inflation setup. I dive the cold (37-38 degree F) waters of the Great Lakes and I can usually get 4 or 5 dives from a full tank. My dive profile is usually about 150' - 200' in depth and Bottom time of about 30 minutes. Deco time around 45 - 90 minutes (this can be greatly shortened depending on the deco technique used at the time of the dive). There are many other factors which must be consider when asking such a question on - How much Argon should one carry? * How easily does the diver get cold? * How much insulation is the diver wearing and type. * How well does the divers dry suit fit. * Buoyancy Style while underwater.. Mainly BC, or Mainly Dry Suit Some of the other divers on the list can probably point out other things to consider. The thing I always try to do when diving is - Have more gas then I need, rather than, need more gas then I have. Safe Diving. Gary McGee Detroit, MI USA Great Lakes Wrecker BTW, When I dive in 50 - 55 Degree water I wear my Wet Suit. (SMILE).
