What is your favorite tank for singles??

[SparticleBrane]

But in New England I use the LP 120.. I've not seen the HP 130's yet, but I hear they hold a TON of air

...only 10cf more than your LP120, at the rated pressure of both (2640psi for your LP120, 3442psi for a 130). Note that if each cylinder were filled to the same pressure, your LP120 would hold more.

Like most others here, I prefer the Worthington X7-100's, a great alternative to an AL80, more gas and less weight on the belt when diving.

If I was gearing up for cave/tech diving, I'd invest in Worthington HP119's or HP130's depending on which diamater/length I wanted.

I have a LP 121 and a HP 120...both great tanks. The HP is nicer when I can get a decent fill.

3. the heavier LP 95's when in North Florida where I can get a 3600 psi fill (258 cu ft).

I agree with this. I love the LP95's when I can get a good fill (3400-3500). But that's getting harder to find outside of north Florida or the shop where I work.

I may end up being forced to go with a HP119 eventually just so I can get the volume of air. With a good fill on the 95 I can do 2-3 OW cert dives without having to refill my tank. Very nice.


ON EDIT: Damn, I just noticed how old this thread is. I feel like a dumbass now...HAHA

I have both HP100's and LP98's.
I like the way the hp100's trim out a little better than the 98's did.

Ditto and what Ronbeaux said.

A short (3000psi) fill with an HP steel, still gives more tha 10% of what an AL 80 gives.

The HP100 has the best buoyancy charactersitics around.

130cf Works for me.

I like steel 72s. Only 26 lbs, and neutral empty. If you can get them slightly overfilled to 2700 PSI they hold as much as an AL80 on a typical fill.

What about hp steel 120's for both single and double
