Scuba Club Cozumel Tanks

[RLarsen]

I learned that Scuba Club Cozumel uses A80 tanks and nothing larger. During my upcoming stay there I'd very much prefer larger tanks for the first dive of the morning which is always deeper. Will SC try to accomodate me or is there another way for me to get the gear I need for a week of diving ?
For a place devoted to diving I'm surprised SC provides such limited tank choices.
Thanks

Scuba Club just contacted me to correct an earlier e-mail regarding tanks.
They do have 100's as an option for a small fee.

Good to know! I was also wondering about that!

It's nice that they do, but there's tons of places devoted to diving that don't offer larger tanks. It's really the exception not the norm.

I was there a few weeks ago, and they had some very new looking bright yellow ST100's.

If would be helpful if someone could advise the buoyancy difference between an A80 and the ST100. I prefer a larger tank for a deep early morning dive and don't mind using an A80 for the second "shallow" dive. How should I consider changing my weights to adjust for the difference.
Thanks !

You probably can drop 4-6lb for the steel tank vs what you wear with the AL 80. Depends if it is a high or low pressure. The High pressure tend to have less bouyancy than the low.

6 pounds sounds about right. There is a 4 pound difference between AL80 and PST80 for me and another 2 pounds between a PST80 and a steel LP95, 4+2=6. Keep in mind this is in cold water, so there might be differences in warm water.
