Let me start off by saying I am unable to find the information that I am looking for on this site, that beign regarding the size of doubles to use. Yes I have read through a few of the posts regarding doubles and waht size, but nobody is in my body type range.
So to start off I am 6.0' tall, and weigh in at 260 lbs, I am constantly in the gym working out, heavily into weights so the lifting of the tanks is not a problem. Anyways my question is this, i am looking to purchase a set of doubles and all the wonderful accessoris that go with them, but I am at a bit of a loss with which tanks to go with. Again i am 6', 260 witha musculare build obviously with a bit of a gut, currently trying to solve that problem. I am also a bit foot heavy in my trim, I am able to stay down with an al80 for quite sometime, say about 45minutes at depths ranging from 110 to 50', this was in the Bahamas, so obvioulsy it won;t be as good a consumption rate when in the colder water of cali.
I would appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions, to which tank would be easiest to trim with, was leaning towards shorter tanks as the weight would be higher up on my back, helping out the trimming problem, a friend suggest getting double HP130 but I figure that is overkill.
Thanks
