Who needs a low SAC rate???

When you can have 240cf of backgas (yes I plan on filling them to ~2900PSI..sue me)

I will tell you, stripping these tanks was a huge PITA! It took a good 4 hours to strip most of the paint off them (using aircraft paint stripper), another hour to treat them for the rust spots, and 3 hours to put 3 coats of Cold Galvanizer on them (thanks to Leesa for the source of ZRC...)

I think next time I will just buy new hot dipped tanks....even though these came meticilous on the inside.

Ummm, you and four of your best friends sharing air in the Sea Tiger for an hour?
Thats a lot of tank!

Actually it eliminates a slung AL 80 on a 230' dive...that was pretty much the main reason

so ... is a 6 hr dive at 20 fsw in order?

Well, Tim... if you want, we can do a 3 hour dive at 60' next week. I have a Drager Dolphin that will be on loan to me, and I'm looking to get some dives in on it...
