James and I dive with Steel.Bill uses the Aluminum. Steel are a bit heavier but give you better bouancy characteristics. An empty Al tank will float. An empty steel tank will still sink. With the backplate and wing it works better having the extra weight on your back.

We use low pressure steel tanks, usually overfilled to about 3000 psi.

Heck there is a shop in Marrianna that put 3600 in em once. I asked em about the practice of overfilling em and they said it was no big deal as long as they are used fairly quickly...and these guys have been at it awhile so I trust em.

Id say get a couple of steel 80-90's...get two so we can band em together for a set of doubles for a cave dive or long tech dive in the future. Mine are currently apart but it would only take a few minutes to have em hooked back together.

Looks like its a no go this weekend. Might hit the Navarre Pier depending upon the conditions.

Will keep ya posted.
