tank info

[*Floater*]

Does anyone have a link to a page with info on different tanks out there. I'd like to ses how much they weigh in water when full and when empty. Also I'd like to see the voulme stated in both cu.ft. and liters, and I'd like to know their length and diameter.

What are the most popular tanks people use?

I'm not planning to buy tanks yet, but when I travel I'd like to know the basic characteristics so that I can estimate the weight I need until I have time for a proper buoyancy check.

Diverlink also has a pretty good table

AL80 is the most popular due to cost. The AL80 is usually not the _best_ tank for the job. It does do many things well enough.

When traveling in the Americas, you will most often find AL80s.

Thanks Don, that link was exactly what I was looking for.

Now I just need to find out how to convert those tank capacitiess into liter notation?
