I don't have much experience with steel tanks. I have used them only a couple of times a year ago while using my drysuit.
Certainly the lift redundancy of a dry suit is unquestionably necessary for steel doubles, but what about singles? Can one dive single PST 120s (HP/E7) or PST 130s (E8/LP104) comfortably in say a 3mm wetsuit?
Buoyancy charactersitics (lbs):
120: -1.3 (empty) -10.3 (full) Weight: 36.6 empty
130: -4.8 (empty) -14.6 (full) Weight: 42.2 empty
I have heard some say 120s are O.K. as singles whereas 130s are not...is this true? Is there a difference...or are both O.K. or are neither acceptable?
Really appreciate you help...thank you!
