Re: Thursday South Sound Dives 7-19-2012

Don, I wouldn't mind trying out an HP 117 if you've got one to spare...I scrounged up an LP95 from my friend, it'd be really neat to see how the different tanks works with weighting and buoyancy since I plan to buy some tanks before too long also. I can leave the AL 80s at the shop... Jim (RoxnDox)...
