Re: New guy

I agree with going with the steel tanks. I have steel HP 120's that I bought new going on their 5th hydro. Got rid of the Al 80's. Also, went to Din vs. yoke regulator at the same time. Back in the day. Al80's were the rage. Also, all regulators were yoke. For me, I can get 2 full dives at 90'-100' on 1 HP 120 tank. Some of my friends boats, "space" is at a premium. With 2 tanks, I can get at least 4 dives. All my dive buddies have Din valve tanks and regulators. If you're going stick with yoke. Get a yoke to Din adapter. That way you can be versatile. As already mentioned, during the summer no weights needed. I can wear up to a 1.5mil weight suit and not use any weight. If you ever go the MG diving. You'll be glad to have the extra gas in a steel tank.
