    Questions about VIP process

    I'd love to get some input on my recent (and first) experience in getting tanks VIP'd. ____ SCENARIO: I picked up two old Catalina AL80s for $25. They looked pretty rough, with paint hanging off in giant sections, and plastic netting and boots that had potentially never been removed...

    Wing Size Advantages and Disadvantages

    I am about to purchase my first harness/wing and am wondering if there are any downsides to buying a slightly larger wing with more lift as opposed to a smaller wing with less lift. I dive with a single AL80 in warm water almost exclusively, but would like to have the option of diving colder...

    AL80 Tank ID: Catalina?

    Hello! I bought a set of scuba gear on Craigslist. Everything was late-80’s vintage Scubapro (some of which you will see posted: anyone want an Air2 with free BCD? :) ). It also included a AL80 built in 1988. I assumed it was ‘bad’ alloy and offered accordingly. However, I was looking at...

    Closed Pair of Catalina modular neutrally-buoyant AL80s, Chicago area

    Catalina* neutrally-buoyant AL80 tanks, left- and right-handed valves, and modular so that you can change them from yoke to DIN with an Allen wrench. I bought these back in 2014 for solo sidemount diving. Only used a dozen times a year, at most. I have medical issues that preclude any...

    C80 aluminum cylinders? Are they good as doubles?

    Is anyone still manufacturing C80 aluminum cylinders? Catalina seems to be done making them? I am looking into getting a set of doubles and I found one C80 for a very good price, but I'm concerned about finding a matching one. I like that the buoyancy characteristics are much more similar to...

    Price differences in tanks

    I've been looking at AL 80 tank prices online and they vary quite a bit in price. For example, I found a brand new Cyl-Tec 80cf Scuba Diving Tank from amazon that is selling for $149. There is also a Sea Pearls 80 Aluminum Scuba Diving Air Tank for $259. They are both aluminum tanks, so why is...

    Sidemount Weight for AL80s

    For those of you that dive sidemount AL80s in a wetsuit, how much weight do you personally need per thickness of the wetsuit and water type? Should I add 3-4lbs to what I usually use for singles? Got sidemount trained last year and only recently got a sidemount BC, so haven't had much practice...
