Folks, strictly an "owning tanks question" assuming AOW diving....
....just kinda wondering what every one is using around here, cold water quarry vs Ocean City diving, non-training dives. I can afford to buy steel tanks, say a Worthington 3442 (name your size) for argument sake, but wondering about all the nuances of having one tank to make two dives, or two smallers for two dives, pain in the back of lugging a one tank beast, or maybe Nitroxing instead etc etc (btw my LDS doesnt nitrox any more, strictly air. But that's just their business model).
What are you guys diving who own tanks and what do you get for bottom time for your set up on an AOW dive....?
BTW, if it helps, I'm thinking about for both the wife and I. I can probably hump a few more pounds than an AL80, but maybe not so much the wiffy...
Thanks for any info.
