old steel 72's

[Delta Dolphin]

I also recently acquired 4 steel 72s from my dad. They both have the "+" rating. I had them Hydro'd along with an AL65 and AL 80. I'm going diving in Santa Barbara (Truth Aquatics) this week and wanted to take them with me. I'm a bit concerned about bottom time but it seems to me that the boyancy characteristics are such that they might be a better choice for my fiance and I than the Aluminum tanks (80 & 65). Any thoughts?

When you say they have the + rating, do you mean they put it on the current hydro stamp? If they didn't, they don't.

That's good to know, Thanks.

The 10% overfill + can still be added during the next hydro if they follow the proper code (CFR49, section 173).
