Can someone run down which tanks work best for DIR style stage bottles?

Got any pictures of floating several Lux 40's or 80's on a leash? (A picture being worth a thousand words and all.)

Hows this one ? (No, it's not me!)

Hymark al80 i a good replacement for luxfer it rides the same. My buddy has a Hy-mark stage I tried it many times and cannot tell the difference

Since Hy-mark seems to be much much easier for us to get in the Pacific, can anyone else confirm that the Hy-mark S80 rides like a Luxfer S80?

Does the Hy-Mark AL40 also ride like a luxfer AL40?

I can confirm the Hy-Mark Al40 rides like a Luxfer Al40. Haven't tried the Hy-Mark Al80.

I can say that hymark al6 used for inflation rides exactly like luxfer al6

So given that 2 sizes of tanks from hymark ride the same as luxfer there is a great chance that al80 will rode the same

Has anyone tried the new Worthington Al cylinders and know how they ride?

What I heard: Hymark was bought out by Worthington, and so Worthington tanks are actually Hy-Mark. At least that was what I was counting on.

Got no idea about the truth of this, but when I said I could get Hy-Mark, I met the ones from XS Scuba which are in fact, currently actually Worthington.

I was assuming that Worthington was not for no reason going to change the buoyancy characteristics, but that's why I am buying a couple to try before I buy a rental lot full of them.

Thanks for the info, I hope you are correct about the Worthingtons being the same as Hy-Mark.

I heard Hy-Mark was Chinese. I have an issue with that and would refuse to purchase them if that was the case, so I hope it isn't so.

Double-tap.
