How many dive cylinders do you currently own ? [Poll]

[RainPilot]

5 AL80 (SM tech and deco stages)
4 12L steel (drysuit SM)
1 AL63 for kids and petite folk training
4 AL40 deco stages and bailout
2 sets CCR steel
4 sets CCR aluminium
2 8.5L steel (SM wetsuit and drysuit)
5 7L 300 bar steel (drysuit)
1 6L steel (wife baby tank)

30 tanks. A fair chunk are small ones though. CCR adds tanks to your roster fast.

Oh boi.

2x 104 doubles
2x lp72 singles
2x al14 argon
1x al6 argon
3x al80 300 bottles (10/85)
3x al80 240 bottles 16/60)
3x al80 190 bottles (18/45, one is 21/35 for deco)
2x al80 100 bottles (32% or 30/30)
1x al80 120 bottle (35/25)
2x al80 70 bottles (50%)
Al40 50%
Al40 100%
Al80 100%
Lp95 100%
Lp50s (rb80 rack 190 gas)
Lp85s (rb80 240 gas)

A few al80 safety bottles here and there. I own two or three I think.

So like 30 some odd, all for personal use.

Hmm ...

Next time I create a poll about this topic, I will use a very different range of possible answers.

 

[Damselfish]

none. Sold them all years ago when we quit local diving. Wish I'd hung onto 1 or 2.

 

[RayfromTX]

For the fill station, 4-444cuft in the nitrox cascade, one K for helium, one K for oxygen.

For diving, 3 - 80hp and 3 - 100hp

 

[runsongas]

last option should be - i plead the fifth

 

[Roger Hobden]

Do those who own 12 and more cylinders: where do you store them all ?

 

[TrimixToo]

About 50. Seven are bank tanks; one is trimix storage; these arguably don't count, but since Frank counted his....

18 back gas tanks:
Four sets of LP95s/98s.
One set of HP80s (anyone interested?)
Two sets of LP72s.
A set of LP108s and a set of LP112s.

12 twelve deco tanks:
Nine LP72s and an LP85
Two LP45s.

5 inflator tanks:
Two LP13s
Two AL13s
An AL 6 (anyone interested?)

7 utility tanks
7 AL20s and AL16s rigged with first stages and Milton style QDs for tires and air tools

1 SP AL72 that's out of service but gets used at low (1000 PSI-ish) pressures for utility from time to time

There's probably something else or another around here somewhere.

I have to point out that if Ted Green posted here, he'd win, hands down. He probably has 100 bank bottles, just to start with.

 

[northernone]

13 al80's
1 al63
3 lp131s
3 lp72
2 lp107
1 lp110 (unknown)
4 al13
2 lp14
1 lp3
2 al19
1 al30
1 lp12 (unknown)

Ideally I'd have enough for everyone I dive with and my various configurations. Plus plenty of stage bottles.


And @Wookie's cylinder bank.
