Wow I after seeing your day on CCV I can see my self doing 5 dives in a day. I dont see my self doing 2 night dives but who knows? I will still opt for EAN if available. Thanks for sharing.
 
Go nuts ....._(:}@
<*}}}))><

any info on big tank availability from CCV yet?
 
I was just there last week, and I didn't see any 100's, however they were more than happy to let me sling a second AL80 since I had a stage kit with me.

I have booked with CCV Oct 24-31 and was looking for 2 larger tanks for my self. My dive partner is a 5'0 mermaid that dosent breathe. Recently on trip to Hawaii she was always the last person on the boat with 1000 psi. She was forced to take steel 78's so the DM could keep up with her. I can not keep up with her I cpuls have a steel 120 and she would still have more air. I have hear CCV has a set or 2 of 100's? I would pay for them just wondering on how to get them and if Nitrox would be available with them?

Reactions: Doc
This is not a defensive statement: Some people simply prefer EAN for a wide variety of reasons. After diving air exclusively for over ten years, and EAN (and trimix) exclusively for about the past four, I am ok with my preference and feel no need to defend it :-).

Confirmed 100cfs. Thanks DOC for the info! Not too mention the tanks has the Genesis valves so I can use my DIN more importantly without an adapter.
 
So, answer the important and missing portion of the equation...

What is the PSI they pump them up to? 2400? 3000?

Then, the algebra of the actual usefulness of an additional 20 CuFt may commence. (Math way above my pay grade, but if somebody has a calculator :doctor: and no ADHD, we can know for sure)

AL 100's are rated at 100 cu. ft. @ 3300 psi. So, if CCV only fills to 3000 psi, which is the pressure at which the 'standard' AL 80 is filled to it's designed 80 cu. ft. (actually AL 80's are really 77.4 cu. ft. if memory serves) then @ 3000 psi, you're looking at about 90 cu. ft. If CCV doesn't do top offs after tanks cool down, then you'll end up with something even less than the theoretical 90 cu. ft.
 
If I had my LP Steel 100's Known in the pas as 104's and filled them good n tight my dive numbers would drop greatly with the possibility of three or so hour dives , Now my HP 120's or HP 100's will never make the tri from Florida to Roatan
