I know you can reply - I dive a rebreather, I dive surface supplied, etc - BUT for this thread were looking for the cylinder (or two or three) that you currently dive on?

Prepared from manufacterer's cylinder list from book "Mastering Rebreathers" pg 76

Also, not in the list is the Faber/ScubaPro LP80 that are actually a fairly common tank. I'm surprised that it's missing. I own the 95s, have rented others.
