I am looking for another tank for the new dive season, I bought an AL80 last year new and it cost about 250-300 CAD I think. All I want is a cheap AL80 so I can do more dives with my friends in one day.
Looking online for a used one has turned up pleanty of used AL80s however they always need a hydro... Do aluminum tanks have a life span? Can the tank fail a hydro and not be fixed? I am really just wondering the downside and chances of losing my money buying used.
I would very happily buy a worthington hp100 as I don't need weight when I dive with it, it is really a perfect tank, but they dissapear minutes after being posted lol high demand.
