Steel 119 VS 130

[rcpilot44]

I am wanting to purchase some steel tanks. Trying to decide on 119 or 130's. Not much difference in price. The 130 is about 1 inch longer and about 1# heavier. Any thoughts. Thanks

I have a small flotilla of PST 130s (and a couple of 104s) and I just love 'em. They're the perfect tank for doing 60 to 90 minute dives in the 70-90' range.

I've been regretting getting my two 119s almost since I bought them, instead of 130s.

Don't get me wrong, they're great tanks. But, 130s seem to trim out just a bit better and give you just a bit more gas.

With your 130 you can dive with all your buddies with doubles

 

[Scuba-Stu]

well at least your buddies diving double AL80s

I never used 119's, but I love my 130's. I went from Al80's to the 130's and never looked back.

Thanks for the input. Has anyone bought tanks from diverite express? Are they 02 washed so nitrox blends can be made? Thanks

Their website is quite detailed about what you are buying:
Worthington X-Series SCUBA Diving Tanks
FillExpress is my LDS so I appreciate you buying your tanks from them

I have 119's. If I could do it over, I'd go the 130 route.
