Faber HP 100 - Questions

[Gloveboxtech]

Has anyone ever dove with or own a faber HP 100 with negative 7 lbs when empty. I am looking for a little feedback and what people think?

Thank you,

I had one of the Faber HP120's, it too had a -7 # when empty. So it was not the same, but close. I didn't like the way the tank made me feel like I was back heavy.
I had to keep from rolling on to my back.
But there are people who dive dry with these tanks and love them.

I was looking at them when purchasing my tanks. But after looking side by sid comparisons of the various tanks (Size/length/diameter/weight/buyoncy) I went with the worthington XS Scuba X-7 HP 100 for me had the best combination

I have a Faber FX-100, it's about 1lb neg near empty, which is fine. I like the tank pretty much, but would prefer it to have a zinc coating rather than paint.

7lbs negative when empty would be a pain for the type of diving I do.....Warm water wuss diving.

My doubles are Faber HP 100s, I like them but prefer the hot dipped galvanized finish that the Worthington's have.

The HP 100's are not that negative to the best of my knowledge. 1 to 2 lb I think. I'll search a link.

I have two Faber HP 100's. That's all I dive with. They are -7.26# negitive when empty. I'm 5'7" and 170# and have no problem with these tanks. The only other tank I've used was an AL80 during my checkout dives.
