Charlie99:Please explain!!! The last time I looked, air weighs the same whether it is inside a steel tank or an aluminum tank. The buoyancy change in an steel 80 is the same as for an AL80.
I think they mean the swing from negative to positive. Steel tanks start negative and end negative. Aluminum tanks (80's anyway) start negative and end positive.
You can get a "neutrally buoyant" AL80 tank for about 30 bucks more though.
Scroll down to the chart on the bottom.
