Any Ladies using HP80's?

[SubMariner]

I'm in the Vancouver area.

By "fill adapters" are you referring to the screw-in inserts that convert a 230 bar (5-thread) DIN valve to yoke for filling and use with yoke regs, or something else that attaches to the filling whip?

I have inserts for the 230 bar valves on my worthington tanks, but my PST tank has a 300 bar (7-thread) DIN valve, which can't be converted with a screw-in insert. It was this type of tank in particular to which the shop employee was referring, not high pressure tanks in general. My usual shop has no problem filling it.

I am referring to this adapter that screws into your DIN tank: Din Valve to Yoke Scuba Tank Filler Adapter

These adapters work with my two steel Sherwoods and my steel PST (and my hubby has two 100 steel PSTs).

Hope that helps,

Jealous... maybe I'll ask for HP 80s for my next Christmas present. I hate the feeling of AL80s on my backside, and I would love to drop some weight!

A small female looking for a short cylinder might consider the HP Faber FX71DVB. They are 21.26" tall and 6.73" in diameter. The capacity is 9 Liters/71 Ft³, but is probably large enough for a small female to still have gas left after an average male sucks a 100 Ft³ tank dry. I am a 5'6" male for reference for the attached photo.

The doubles are very close together because they are on a 190mm manifold instead of the normal 215mm. They are about an inch smaller in diameter than an Aluminum 80 and the majority of steel cylinders.

Hm, I didn't know they had these. I doubt I'll do much traveling with my tanks, but if I ever do I'll think about picking one up. Thanks.

Apologies for a stupid question: When you all talk about HP80, are you talking about the Worthington X-7 HP80 or different brands?

Both, they all dive the same.
If you use din regs, the older pst tanks can be found much more reasonably.
