LP 108 doubles?

Don't forget about other divers on your team. There is a lot of calculating to do when divers in a team use dissimilar cylinders. Just food for thought.

He is talking about Gas matching. Here is a good archived thread on it. Gas Matching with LP 108's [Archive] - ScubaBoard - Scuba Diving Forum - Diving Social Network

WHat redundancy do you have in a cave then? Do you always go with a drysuit?

Yes.

Double 108s are great cave diving tanks. Personally I would not dive them without a drysuit.
Heavy, and more gas than you need for most open water dives.

Yes Tickler I always were a dry suit when caving.
Most of my dives even in FL last we over an hour and while the water temp is 72º you still get chilled.
One of my friends always dives wet and with 108's, he wears a 8/7 semi dry and has no issues caving.
He has been diving caves since 07'.
Personally I like Faber 108's as they are a bit lighter than XS or others even when filled to 3600psi.
