Same here, as I'm 5'10", if I could just get a couple more inches I'd be good.
"Tall boots" mostly extend further up the tank wall. The bottom of the tank isn't substantively higher off the benchI've seen some really tall boots. I'm not sure why they make them but saw them the other day while at the dive shop. I asked the sales person, but he had no idea. The tank still sits the same height like you say, but the boot was much taller for some reason. Maybe I could put a spacer inside.
I have some 133s and a 149, those don’t get used much except on deep lobster spots. I actually couldn’t believe how “small” the 100s looked to my eye sicne I got so used to having there’s large tanks around. Also have a 72 Faber LP which is great for shallow spots. That was actually the first steel that got me hooked and now I only diving those, Al on dove boats onlyYea I haven a couple but those things are freakin heavy.
