Until recently i have been diving solo with an AL80 and a slung AL40, and have been considering doing deeper diving. As a result, I was thinking about using my doubles. However, my doubles are pressed steel LP120's. Though heavy, I have no trouble working with these tanks shore diving, and I have done enough dives with them to be comfortable with these tanks.
I was curious if there are other solo divers out there that use heavier setups while solo diving, or if there is some sort of consensus to use light equipment? Also, if you do use heavy equipment, is there any special planning in yours dives in order to help mitigate the risks of using big tanks. (e.g. keeping your reg in your mouth during entry/exit in case you fall on your face and can't immediately get up.)
Thanks in advance all.
