Thanks and PM or email any questions.

Also have boots for the 104's as singles if wanted.

PST LP 104's and the PST E-8 130's are sold. Still got the Luxfer AL 80's. Thanks

Do you still have the boots for the 104's?
Thanks

I sure don't (still have the boots). I bought these as doubles and never got the boots.
Thanks,

PM sent on the tanks

still have the 80's how much for shiping to panama city fl?

UPS ground for 3 boxes to PC Fl. is $60.49. I may have someone headed to the Marianna area in the next week or two. Thanks and let me know if that would help.

are the 80's banded together? din?yoke?

They have left and right post modular valves in the tanks and the picture of the manifold and bands are for the AL80's. It's a Dive Rite 200 BAR manifold so it can be used yoke or DIN. The bottles are full of 32% now and would have to be drained to be assembled so I didn't do that just for the pictures. They would have to broken down to ship anyway. The plugs for the left and right modular valves are not included as they go with another manifold.

dumb q but are they lp or hp? and for caves do I really need lp steel??

The 104's and the E-8 130's are sold, just to clarify. The AL 80's aren't LP or HP, they rated at 3000 psi. LP, HP and AL tanks all have different buoyancy characteristics and depending on your size and goals in diving, aka how much gas do I need, there's a huge difference between a set of LP 104's and a set of AL80's. I used these for students taking cavern class and all my students in the last couple of years have had their own doubles by class time. With that, and a build up of excess tanks, I've decided to sell some. I've got a guy headed to Marianna in the morning and that would have the bottles an hour north of PC. Let me know if that would help make the deal and we can work out the details.
Thanks,

like i said I am just getting started I know the difference between steel and al. I know the al will be more bouyant. I am just looking to get a starter set of tanks. right now I would not be doing alot of deep penetrations. mostly in mariana and jb. just looking for advice on weather i would be wasting my money on these tanks.
i know you are the one selling them but I appreciate the honesty

AL 80's are a good "first" set of doubles as they are easier to swim, not so heavy, and while allowing you to carry enough gas to do some penetration on thirds they don't have enough to get you in "too" far. They can also be broken down and used as singles as need be for recreational trips plus they work great for salt water doubles diving in a wetsuit. There is no perfect tank combo I guess but IMHO a good first set of doubles would either be AL80's or a set of LP 95's, just my 2 cents on that one.
Thanks,
Todd
