Double LP 130's

I'm guessing these are them.....
(from Scuba Cylinder Specifications from Tech Diving Limited - 928-855-9400)
OMS 135 (131) 2400 +10% 131 8 Triple 30.7 47 0.75 -10.31

4 lbs heavier and 4 inches longer than E8-130's, they swing to 0 when empty, if overfilled/doubled, I'd imagine maybe -30lbs overall...? Thats quite a swing...

I have a set of LP 130's and i've been entertaining the idea of doubling them up just for the heck of it. My friends all tell me I'm crazy that they're just too big and heavy, granted I'm 6'3" and in good shape. Any thoughts? too heavy? or should i do it just to prove my friends wrong haha.

IMHO - the perfect doubles tanks are LP85's, or 104/130's...

LP130's would make great home bank bottles for a local rebreather diver....

they're actually 131's made by faber, but 130 is close enough.

131 cubic feet at low pressure and 200 cubic feet at extra high pressure !

I'm much shorter at 5'8", and I regularly use double 125's for cave diving. They really aren't that much more cumbersome than 108's. The nice thing is the valves will be easier to reach because of the longer tanks.

How about Double LP 108's?...

How about Double LP 108's?...

For all practical intents and purposes, LP108's fall into the same as 104/130's to me...

Perfect cave diving tanks...
