I know I asked about this some months ago, but the timing changed considerably, and now it is happening in late April and so I thought I would address this again. I am going out on a liveaboard to the Bahamas from Miami, and have a tank problem. I am a certified, card carrying air hog, and I need bigger tanks than the usual 80's that are normally available. I talked to the boat operator, and they do not mind if I bring along a special tank for my use. Now comes the problem. I would like about a 120 cf tank, as this will give me bottom time which approaches the others with 80's ( I will still be the first out of the water, no doubt) and I should have no problem handling the weight, as I am 6'3' and built like a battleship (hence the air usage). What do you guys recommend for a rental tank for a week in or near the harbor of central Miami? I tend to lean toward a LP steel tank, as I am not sure if the boat can fill a HP tank, but I don"t know what is available. My rig will have no problem with a big tank (Ranger BC) and I am certainly tall enough to handle it. Any ideas from you guys down there? :06: Woody
