I have read thread upon thread about doubles. I am very interested in getting a pair of doubles to start extending my dive times (within NDL on nitrox). Even with my HP100 single I never approach NDL when on nitrox. I know most might say "purchase a 120 or 130 steel" but my end goal is possibly tech diving and I also do dive in the 100ft mark and having some redundancy is appealing to me for those deeper dives. I know people might say Tech diving is expensive and is a long ways out for me which I agree but why waste money on the way there if whatever doubles I purchase now might work then? My question is I see that a pair of LP72s or HP85s are pretty ideal for extending bottom times on recreational dives (within NDL of course) while also not being overly cumbersome or heavy BUT it seems from what I have read that they are not ideal for TECH/Deco diving (appears double 100s are more the norm). What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.
