Come on, you need the E8-119. It's an LP 95 pumped up to 3442 psi. Plenty of air.

kawboy579:In reply to the two previous posts, im 6'0" about 160lbs (dont use much air), and will be diving wet. Right now, im planning on doing some mid-level wrecks, which can be found in lake michigan/huron in around 50-90ft of water. The possibility of deeper dives does exist for later on, which is why i initially wanted a 100CF tank (rated at LP), or a steel that could handle a 3000 psi fill which would give over 85 CF.
jhelmuth:Also...
Note that the higher pressure tanks may increase the likelyhood of a "frozen" 1st stage (depending on ambient water temps and the limits of the 1st stage design) and is harder on it than the lower pressure cylinders.
I would really like to understand your statement about a HP tank having a tendancy to create freezing in a reg first stage easier.jhelmuth:Also...

It seems to me if one is diving in cold water, they should be using a cold water reg like a Zeagle DSIV or DSV or an Apeks or the like. If one is using a reg designed for the diving they are doing, how could tank pressure alone cause a problem?
I believe a reg that is not designed for cold water will tend to freeze regardless of tank pressure.
As for pressure, please keep in mind you're generally talking about the difference between 3000 psi and 3442 psi. Unless of course you are using the 2500 psi LP tanks as your benchmark for your pressure determinations. Either way, a quality reg will eliminate the problems of freezing.
From the stand point of it being harder on the reg, again, if the reg is a good quality unit, how is HP hard on it?
Thanks
