Here balanced is not an issue as you can crawl or walk out from most sites.
Well that's interesting...

The 119s are not unmanageably negative at -2 empty, and they aren't unmanageably tall. I don't know anyone who dives them, so I can't speak to how they trim.
But I'm very much in the minority in our GUE community locally -- most of our divers go on to doubles and dive nothing else. I'm almost 60 years old and acutely aware that I have the only back and knees I'm ever going to get, so I do single tank dives with . . . a single tank!
If you're wanting to dive in Florida, 104/108/112/130's are about all that's used for backmount cave diving with the occasional set of 85's for short dives, and Al80s are all there is in Mexico.Thanks for your input. I actually see T1 in the near future so bigger tanks are needed. I pretty much settled for big fat 119's so I can get 2 long rec dives with plenty of gas left. With choice in mind, I could easily see myself move through T1,T2 and possibly Cave1 in the next couple years with the same setup.

For cave 1/2 dives I would use 104/108/112/130's in FL, AL80's in Mexico.
For T1/T2 dives I would use AL80's or LP85's jacked to 3600 with a stage or two.
No, I'm saying that those tanks are about the only tanks used in North FL. Anything else will result in weird looks. LP104 is about the same volume as a HP130.Are you saying that if I show up in Ginnie Springs, I'll get weird looks with HP tanks or is it because it's harder to get partial pressure fills on a HP tank in Florida?
Am I missing something here...
