whats the word on the Worthington X8 130, is it really worth the extra 10 CU FT?
Some one told me there is going to by a 140 in the works...any truth to that?

thats a big tank. i use x7 HP 100's and they tend to last me longer than any of my buddies. -next stop doubles!

One advantage to diving with Worthington tanks is that you can save money by giving up your health club membership. No need to lift weights anymore.

What type of diving are you doing? If you are tech, wreck or cave diving, they may very well be worth the extra 10cf, as it may mean that you will be able to plan a longer dive. If you are just doing reef dives, then, no.

What extra 10cf? Compared to what?

Compared to a 120cf cylinder? I'd say it is worth it, but again the 120 is a different diameter and length (thinner and longer) and fits some body sizes better. Personally I'm a big fan of 130s; they are fantastic singles and doubles.

One advantage of a 130 is I can get two shallow dives in with it and still have reserve gas,not so with my 100.

what about the aluminum 100's, mabey some cave diving later on around october, not to hot on the tech side but I will soon be next season.

what about the aluminum 100's

Useless.

I have both the hp100 and hp120. I like the size of the hp100 over the hp120 out of water but in the water I dont noticed a difference.
