    Question Do you adjust weights when switching between 12L and 15L tank?

    I discovered that many people adjust weights when switching between 12L steel and 15L. Even my instructor told me to subtract 2kg. I wonder why and if I’m missing something. I don’t do any adjustments because based on charts, at least for Faber steel tanks, the difference in buoyancy is just...

    I had a terrible incident where my tank slipped out of my current BCD that only has one tank strap. That took me down the rabbit hole don’t BCD have two?

    Aluminium tank DIY maintenance (Alu)

    Did some other scuba material maintenance as regs and went well so far. Decided to get to Alu tanks which were thrown and not maintained since a loooong time, and probably filled with not that great air. Will stay on non oxygen tanks, thinking about air only. So after having the troubles with...

    Used low pressure steel 105, worth it?

    I only have aluminum 80s and know high capacity steel has big advantages. I want the extra air and negative buoyancy. I can get a LOW 2400 pressure steel 105 with fresh hydro and VIP for $175. Much cheaper then new or high pressure. My question, for the extra weight and girth and possibly being...
