I'm putting this in the advanced section, since its probably a better question for more advanced divers. Last year, I got a very sweet deal on two High Pressure Steel tanks. One is an HP100, and the other is an HP119. I paid $100 each. I took them straight over to my LDS, and had them Hydro'd, and they came out just fine.
Since buying them, I've never used the 119. Its big, and heavy. I'm a tiny guy, and know my limitations. I've held on to it with the thought that I may want to use it when I go boat diving. But that has not come to fruition.
Now I'm at a crossroad. The tank is out getting VIP'd right now. Assuming it comes back fine, which it should since its not been in the water even once since its hydro, I need to decide what to do with it. I think my options are a) Keep it in case I ever want to use it, b) sell it, c) trade it for an HP100, or d) trade it for something else.
I'm 40 dives in to my career. I have my Rescue cert, and am working on Divemaster. I'm also planning to eventually do tec, but that could be a few years still down the road.
