There is also a considerably greater heating effect if the cylinders are nearly empty, than if they are ~1/3 full. Some shops around here charge more for HP fills.

I pick mine up by the shoulder straps all the time. It doesn't slip. Designs vary, as tbone1004 says you can always add a triglide if necessary.

I have to twist arms to get my LP72s filled to 2475 PSI and always get the stink eye when I bring in a bunch of HP cylinders because then they have to run the compressor.

Chart in my notes says a Worthington LP121 weigh 49.9 lbs. PSTs were usually a pound or two less typically at least for other sizes and there is quite a bit of variation from one cylinder to the next. Faber FX-149 weight varies depending who you ask, this one is 46.9 lbs but I got 45.0 when...

I think you can still get FX-149s, which weigh 10% less than your LP121 due to a slightly thinner wall and have the same internal volume.

Well, you might think that an HP steel is safer at whatever pressure you use than an LP, as I do, though I realize that many don't believe this. You might be the sort of person who likes to follow the letter of the law and regulations. You might occasionally need a fill from a shop that will...

I don't dive dry but have never found any of our many wetsuits (my kids dive too) to be odoriferous. We just rinse them after a dive, dry them overnight, turn them inside out, and dry them again. We dive all over Minnesota and surrounding states/provinces.

3AA2400 is stamped on it in the last photo. Besides Faber didn't make HP cylinders until 2003 Manufactured in 1995. The cylinder has been repainted at some point because the 2000 hydro stamp has been painted over I would guess it's an LP80 which were popular in those days

I have experimented with various "baby double" configurations and have decided that it is best to have a rec regulator and a rec tank for rec dives. Simpler, lighter, cheaper, less fiddly. This is especially true once you do more than a couple of dives between runs to the compressor. A...

I mostly dive locally and figure it's about $20 a dive, for me and my kids, divided equally between air, cylinder maintenance, and maintenance and depreciation for everything else.

1. Dive in lakes that don't allow motorboats, or that don't allow anything but electric motors. (Less useful over the years as electric motors become large enough to pose a serious hazard). e.g. Lac Lavon, Perch Lake (WI) 2. Dive in lakes where motorboats are technically allowed but that...

Conshelf 1sts sold pending payment Sherwood still available. 2nd stage still available

Make offer, will combine shipping with other stuff. These are good, usable regs set up for shallow dives without a BC, e.g. boat maintenance. I have an extra second stage on another page you can use as a secondary, buy a hose and a BC hose and do the service and you're diving.

Make offer on any or all. Will combine shipping with other stuff I'm selling. If no one wants them they're going in the trash.

Make offer. I want these out of my living room. The dumpster is calling.

Folks, these are going to go in the trash if no one wants them. Feel free to make offers. I can ship the whole lot anywhere in the USA for $15. Make an offer on the whole lot. No reasonable offer refused. No unreasonable offer refused as long as you're paying the freight and I get at least...

Well, for diving in Minnesota we have: 1) Several cities and counties that require a special permit to dive in lakes in that area. Requirements for a permit vary. Some disallow solo diving. Some require c-cards. Some require notification prior to each dive. 2) Some cities and counties...

Scubapro size S and US Divers size M buoyancy compensators. These are older BCs and do not have weight pockets. My kids used them and have recently upgraded. The Scubapro one was being dived regularly this year, the US Divers was in the water last year. $25 each + $5 box + actual ups Or pick...
