Uncle Pug:LP tanks can be re-tested to the + rating
I think you have to look harder, I bet there's tons. All bulk bottles (like welding) that are steel are tested to the + and/or star rating; just about any decently-sized hydro shop should be able to do this.MarcHall:There is no longer any hydro facility in San Diego County that does the additional testing required for a + rating.
murphdivers286:Is the 100 cf steel tank too much or not enough? Does it matter if it is HP or LP? What is the difference? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
we do recreational diving down to 120 at the most.Scubakevdm:Your question requires considerable dialog to answer. Some questions that come to mind are:
1 What kind of diving will you be doing?
2 How much sheddable weight do each of you have?
3 Is there someone to fill HP where you dive?
If you're ever gonna be down in Boynton, PM me and I can show you different tanks and talk to you about the pros and cons of each. I work for a dive op, but we don't sell tanks, so no-one's trying to pitch you anything. For what it's worth, I dive HP 100's.
