AL 40's other than Yellow

[Richeod]

Does anyone know of a good source of Aluminum 40's in Black or Clear? I want them for Deco/Stage use and I just can't see having a bunch of yellow tanks under my arm. You know rule #6 and all, always look cool underwater.

Thanks

just strip the paint off, any marine supply will have aluminum stripper

I got mine thru diversdiscount. But i live within walking distance of the showroom / offices so i didnt pay for shipping.

They can get you one if you want one

Although they were sold out of the black last time we ordered so I ended up with a yellow...

Will call them in the morning to check but both Divers Discount and Divers Direct websites only list yellow. I would rather not strip a brand new tank either. Any other sugesstions?

You could try getting a group order together and have the shop order clear or black that way.

Diversdiscount doesnt stock the black one. I had them order it for me. It took a 2 or 3 weeks but i wanted a black one so i didnt mind waiting.

Pardon my curiosity, but why would you want black tanks? Wouldn't they be more susceptible to overheating onboard, and harder to see in low-light levels when dropped?
