Hi all!
I´m looking to buy a doubles set up...
My question is about tank sizes...
During my training I dived 9 liter doubles @200Bar/64cft...(on dives to 160 feet/ 50+ meters)
I thought I´d get 12 liters/80cft but talked to an instructor/tech diver this weekend who suggested I get at least 15 liters/106 cft...
I´m also thinking about getting tanks that are @232BAR which would make it:
98cft/12 liters
or
123 cft/15 liters...
I have a RMV or is it SAC? of 14 liters/min @1 atm
or 0.5 cft/min @ 1atm
Sorry about all the numbers but as I´m imperially impaired I´d like to enable responses from "my" people as well...
What would you suggest I get?
Obviously I´d like to get as small tanks as I can (why pay/carry more then you need to?) but at the same time I dont want to save money now only to have to buy bigger tanks later...
What do you use?
Do you find that sac/rmv changes depending on mix? (my figures are based on trimix) The reason for my question is that He is expensive and hard to "score" here...
Looking forward to answers...
