PST High Pressure 80 or 100

[haha49]

im wondering if the extra 20 cu is worth the extra 100 i plan on diveing 1 dive and thats it now im a big guy so size isnt an isuse just wondering if its worth the extra money they both hp tanks

I have a PST 100 and like it a lot. Depends on the diving you do but to me it is worth the $$$.

I have both and the 80 is plenty for most of my dives but that is me making my dives with my buddies.

*How does your air consumption compare with others?
*Do you dives tend to be deep or more conservative shore dives?
*What size cylinders do your buddies have?

Mash all that together and make a decision. My average 1 hour shore dive around here burns a little over 50CF so lugging a 100 CF cylinder is a waste for example. If "big guy" includes being tall then the 100 by virtue of length may make it easier to manage your trim. Big guys tend to be high on air usage but that is only a general statement YMMV.

The E7 series 100 is no heavier than an AL 80 but is a lot shorter. If you are a big guy, consider the 120 as well - it gets you back to an AL 80 lenght.

My lovely bride uses a HP80 and I use the HP100. With our different SAC rates, it works out perfect - most of the time.

I would buy another, no issue.

Where do you shop that an AL80 costs $270? Around here they are about half that. Steel is still the better deal, however.

Go with a HP 100, i have both an 80, a 100 and a 120, when i use my 100 it tends to be for deeper dives or i do two dives with the 100 or the 120. The HP 80's though have their advantages. I love using my 80 because it is so easy to handle, you cant go wrong with either of the tanks.
