Ive HAD it with my crummy little AL80. I'm serious, it threatens to cork me if it gets too low in pressure, say under 900 PSI. Keep in mind I've been adding a 6 lb tank weight...doesn't matter. It's awful.
So, a good friend is asking if I'm interested in buying his LP Steel 130. The price is great...but my god that's a lot of air.
Things I'm considering: Let me Know if I'm crazy here...
1.) I'll have it cleaned to Nitrox spec and fill it with 32 EAN...etc, etc because I'm interested in diving longer than 45 minutes, and I have never been deeper than 110 feet anyways. My diving is avg. of 60' range at the deepest.
My SAC is pretty good actually, not an air hog at all. : )
2.) I'm diving with a DUI Delta, single bladder 50 lbs lift. Is this BC enough to handle a LP130...even if I drop 5-6 lbs off the weight pouches? I suspect YES. Have any of yall dove this gear configuration exactly?
3.) My diving thus far has been classical PADI dives, just reached 200 no-deco obliged dives in Puget Sound. Not chasing after wreck/ tech certs, so is this tank overkill?
Something about me: 5' 11" 170 lbs. Stock body size 'Large'. Compressed neo suit, currently wear 28 lbs of weight...
Let's discuss, ready! GO!
Thanks- Jim
