Whats up guys? I have been reading SB for days now about my up coming purchase and I am still not sure what to do....
I have always dove singles (AL80's to be exact) and wanted to upgrade to a larger steel tank. I purchased the PST HP E7-120 and absolutly love the tank. Now here is my problem. I want to start diving with doubles but when I bought the tank I didnt think about doubles at the time. So I dont know if I should buy another E7-120 or buy 2 say LP 100's. I want to be able to mix my own gas in the future and heard that LP tanks are easier to mix with. But I also dont want to waste the E7-120 that i bought.
Dont worry about 240cf of gas and getting bent. I dive w/ a computer and am well aware of NDL. Plus I plan on taking advanced classed and deep diving in the near future.
To throw a wrench in the works I am also going to buy a set of doubles for my wife. 120's are prob too much for her but I think she can handle 100's. Is it stupid for me to dive with double 120's and she dive w/ double 100's??
So I guess my question is should I just buy 4 LP 100's? or ?!?!? I dont know what to do. Its a lot of money either way. Are the LP's a lot heavier? Can I take a lot more weight off? My wife and I also dive w/ a SS BP/Wing. Thanks for any help. I just dont want to make a foolish purchase.
