Let us know what you decide...always interested in hearing the results of searches for tanks and sizing issues.

hey jim i have 2 sets of 130's next time your down you can barrow them or i can bring the spare set when i hed over for some ice diving this year

Other than diving in a wet suit i always dive x8-130's i had pst 130's but i found that they did not trim out as nice as the x8's so i sold them off .We do allot of deep wreck penatrations in the area i like the extra gas reserve . And due to my size they seem to be the best tanks (6.6ft 255)

Hey Jean, thanks for the offer. I'm about 95% sure I'm going to grab those 2 119's since Bob is going to be putting a fresh hydro on them before I pick them up. But I'd definetly like to try your 130's sometime, since we all know I'll end up with a second set eventually anyway.

The newer 3442psi worthington's are slightly heavier (about a pound more negative each). They trim out the same. The older 7/8" valve 3500psi tanks are fine except: 1) they are a bear to tumble through the tiny neck 2) the genesis manifolds almost all have a funky angled outlet which creates suboptimal hose routing.

I have older Asahi/Genesis HP100s (as singles). They are noticeably more negative than the current Worthington HP100s (at least a few pounds). Personally, I wouldn't want to double them up, but I do know people who dive them like that, and other than the funky manifold, no real complaints.
