Configurations vary but easy deployment, easy location and identification has to be of paramount importance. Double tanks with isolator manifold are commonly used, however in recreational diving independent tanks are used. A sufficient quantity of gas must be carried by the diver to allow completion of the planned bottom time, utilizing the minimum gas management rule for the type of diving enrolled in. Furthermore, this gas supply must allow for gas matching between divers.

The first item that needs to be addressed in tank selection for a specific dive is the needed gas supply and with it tank size resulting from factors such as body size, gas consumption, planned depth and duration. Experience has taught that the most logical approach to the question of gas supply can be best summed up by the statement in why there is a need for gas supply requirements. The first step in planning a dive involves computing the amount of gas needed for the dive. This includes primary mixes and decompression mixes. Decompression systems should provide a sufficient volume of gas to complete all appropriate stops with a minimum reserve supply.​
