I'm a newbie but on two recent dives, one with an aluminum tank, the other with steel, I noticed that the steel tank seemed to 'roll around' more on my back. Was this simply a matter of me being inexperienced or are steel tanks less stable? If, because of their extra weight, they do have a higher centre of gravity and as a result do tend to roll more, how do experienced divers compensate? Is it simply a matter of developing a better technique or getting used to it or are there other things that can be done?
For what it is worth, I used to dive a Zeagle Ranger with both Aluminum 80's and Steel 120's. Now, unless diving abroad, I exculsively use my steels. One thing I found was that the BC straps handled the AL fine, but got a little wobbly when carrying the weight of steel tanks (they were of course, physically bigger tanks). I have switched to a BCD that is a bit if a hybrid and takes a backplate. This, along with a single tank adapter, has really firmed up my rig, especially if I throw a 30cf pony bottle in the mix. I don't know what BC you're diving, but make sure it has at least double straps, and any other modifications you can make to get everything firm will make your dives more enjoyable.
