I really think you should bring this to the cave diving forum.

They are 2X's as wide as single a 120. I could be wrong but, they hold 2X the air also.

they are doubles, so yes they are wider, but they arent any taller than a single, so if you think you'll get stuck in a single, then youll get stuck in doubles. if you see a restriction and its tight don't force your way in so you get stuck, and remember any restrictions going in means you have one goin out, so if there is an emergency you have to deal with that on your exit.

With the tank bands installed the width could be as much as 2"-3" more than just the tanks themselves.

what level of cave certification do you hold?

If you are full cave you should be used to doubles.

If you are intro you should not be going through tight squeezes.

If you are not certified then you should not be going anywhere near a cave.

Yeah, either he doesn't need to be doing caves, as he said he already is, or this thread does not need to be in New Divers.

hockeyman, how about completing your profile so we can address your questions...??

HockeyMan,

As DandyDon pointed out you have no profile to speak off so I reviewed your prior posts and the majority of them appear to be questions normally associated with a new diver. IMO, there is a quantum leap between what appears to be your skill level (from the questions you have asked in your prior posts) and the kind of diving you are contemplating.

Before strapping on a set of doubles and setting out on what may seem like a grand adventure I strongly urge you to seek out professional and competent training. Overhead environments, be they in a cave or wreck, present divers with a number of situations that require in all circumstances, specialized skill sets, training and protocols far beyond open water or advanced open water certifications.

I can’t and won’t tell you what to do but based on what I see you should rethink your position. The question you have asked that started this thread (while in itself is not dangerous and is quite innocent) does prove that you require extensive training before you are qualified to cave dive.

Good luck and safe diving.
