Does anyone have a link to a page with info on different tanks out there. I'd like to ses how much they weigh in water when full and when empty. Also I'd like to see the voulme stated in both cu.ft. and liters, and I'd like to know their length and diameter.
What are the most popular tanks people use?
I'm not planning to buy tanks yet, but when I travel I'd like to know the basic characteristics so that I can estimate the weight I need until I have time for a proper buoyancy check.

Diverlink also has a pretty good table
What are the most popular tanks people use?AL80 is the most popular due to cost. The AL80 is usually not the _best_ tank for the job. It does do many things well enough.
