I'm just curious mustang, why no PST's. I have four, and I just love them. They are so light.
 
Thought it might help. XS seems to be the heaviest and not on the list, PST is usually the best on weight......... was wondering the same thing, why not PST.

PST lost their TC rating here in Canada. That was when they went out of business. No one will touch them after the hydro expires here. I have heard that they have been prone to failing hydro's too. I would love to use them because I know they are plentiful, just not willing to take the risk. I do not have the means to use non dot tanks either. I'm looking for some worrthington tanks hopefully.
Thanks for the reply's John.

BTW I'm diving dry with some pretty lofty undergarments for our sub 40degree water temperatures.

TC renewed the exemption till 2014...
 
Thanks for the heads up... What happens after 2014? One of the LDS here just lost 6 of his PST tanks to hydro last week!

What does "lost" mean?

Did they fail or they just won't cert them?
