Hey guys. Didn't know EXACTLY where to post this, but I wanted to get some opinions of other on Hog rigs.
I'm looking for single tanks to buy for my use. At the moment, I rent AL 80's. Renting them filled with EANx is becoming expensive, so I'd like to own something.
My rig is as follows:
DR Aluminum Plate
Hog harness
Oxycheq Mach V #30 Signature series
I looked at Catalina AL 100's a while back, but they're huge (tall, as well as 8'' diameter), and they have an operating pressure of 3300 as opposed to 3000 for an AL 80. I don't think the 8'' diameter will fit in the tank racks of commercial boats.
If I get AL 80's, they might be able to get doubled up later.
Steels sounds nice, but WAY too expensive for a college student like myself.
I want all of my diving to be on Nitrox from now on, if possible.
Thanks!
Danny
Edit: Average SAC rate for a 6'1'' 170 lb male, most of diving is done in springs, reefs, and wrecks. Usually not past 100 feet. I would like to have a little extra air than an 80, but they will do for now if that's what I have to do.
