why use tiny doubles?

It was coined (at least in my opinion) by John Chatterdon in an article he wrote called Tiny Doubles...

Personally I like 72's I can fill them to 3200 psi and get 100 Cu Ft in them... Makes my dives nice and long...

Many folks I know buy HP which I don't understand - I only buy LP tanks which can be easily cave filled to reasonable pressures and you can pack in a lot of cu ft of air or nitrox...

Define “easily” in the NE. I understand “easily” in cave country.

Easily: The condition when you have access to your own fill station.

Yes - sorry should have said easily if you have access - which I do...

HP tanks make sense if you can easily get them filled to rated pressure. LP makes sense if you can't. You just deal with the bigger size and weight. If you can get LP's cave filled, even better.

Best of both worlds is having the ability to fill HP's, so you just cave fill your LP's and have even more gas! Nobody ever died by having too much gas, although the opposite is not true.

As a matter of fact, I do have my own fill station. Come to think of it, I don’t know anyone up here with LPs anyhoo.

I find tiny doubles trim better than a single, and it saves having to take regs apart to have a single tank setup and a twins setup. For solo diving it provides the required redundancy without having to sling a pony. You also get more gas than a standard Al80 at service pressure, and a lot more if you cave fill them.

Precisely this!

Can't be double 120's. Heavy suckers. But lots of air .
