steel 72's....what to do??

[zach5150]

Send me a PM if you want to get rid of them. I can put them to good use.

Thanks....i'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do at this point. But if I decide to sell 'em, i'll let you know. (and, I guess I could let 'em go a little cheaper for you than for Cave Diver:lol: hehe

 

[Cave Diver]

Sounds great! I paid a grand each, so I'll PM you w/ my paypal address and you can deposit 500 bucks for each one you want....if you want both, I'll pay for shipping, so a cool thousand will cover everything! hehe....

Great! Then I'll PM Perrone and sell them to him!

 

[zach5150]

Thanks for all the info and opinions guys....I'm gonna dive 'em and see how it goes...I just keep thinking I want something bigger, but on the other hand, I also had the thought that I could use these to help train my breathing. At first, I was thinking, I should get a bigger tank since my SAC is so bad, but of course, that wont fix the actual problem..so, now I'm thinking maybe having a smaller tank will force me to learn to breath better....

keep 'em comin!

The double 72s, for me, would be a GREAT set of tanks for boat diving, or to loan to someone who I want in doubles to go diving. They are negative enough to not require weight (for me) and big enough to give me adequate gas for 100ft dives. I am dreading jumping off a boat in anything heavier than my AL80s.

I am dreading jumping off a boat in anything heavier than my AL80s.

Why's that??
I jump in (ocean) with doubled steel 100's and have only 4#s on a belt, weight of the tanks and 6# BP. With doubled Al80's, I have 8#'s on the belt, 10#'s v-weight, and 6# BP. I guess I have about 4#'s more in the AL setup than the steels, but with anything less I can't hold @ 15fsw. Point is, I'd rather jump in with the steels.

Back on point, I do like the 72's. I use them singled for inlet dives and they provide plenty of gas and weight out great. YMMV

Steel 72's are great tanks. They are perfect for Donna and they make a great set of doubles.
