Re: Diving From A Sailboat?

Just picked up a 23' and it has a pretty large cockpit with lots of room for gear, anchoring isnt a issue for me as well. But getting back in was what was on my mind lol... Actually most sailboats are very tough to get back into as their sides are high as well as the transoms. and you also have allo...

Re: Want To Buy 2x 100 HP Tanks

Yeah thanks again for the hookup man, much appreciated! Tinkered around with them last night and did some reading and pretty happy with what I got. Definitly will be holding onto the manifold and the valves you gave me for sure after we set them up as singles. I was comparing them next to my AL80s a...

Re: Want To Buy 2x 100 HP Tanks

Yes I am prefering DINs but not completely necessary, I have both yoke and din regs and adaptors as well. You might also want to specify if you need yoke valves or DIN valves - I put out a similar (just about identical in fact) request last year, and got a couple of offers for DIN valve tanks...If i...

Want To Buy 2x 100 HP Tanks

Looking for a pair of HP 100's - Looking for single tanks, prefer DIn but yokes might work too, not looking for doubles set up at this time, but willing to consider em as well if the price is right. Let me know if you have something or see something pop up online.
