As I have progressed through my Tech Courses and divers, I have generally been diving with HP100 Doubles, and either AL40, AL80 or both for Deco and O2. My observations from watching other divers around, is the AL40 and AL80 seem to be pretty standard bottles this usage.
My question is why not HP80s? Do the AL80s trim out better, is it the extra buoyancy weight or what.
I am in the market for a few more bottles, and was originally going to get some HP80's. My daughter and random girls I meet are generally on the petite side, and I am 5'7". So the 5" shorter and 4 lbs lights HPs is preferred by the girls.
That said, the bottles will get 5x more use by me in a tech configuration.
