    why do you need a set? you may just be better off renting them while yo'ure in cave country. after you're in doubles you won't use them again

    Really? I find them very usable on a single 120 cuft tank. for ocean dives. You do not have to change out your kit (regs.) to dive a single and have several additional benefits.

    I guess I'm the odd ball with a set of double 72's. I'd much rather dive those than a single. Means I don't have to move a wing over and the 72's are only about 10lbs heavier than a single HP120. Depending on who you're diving with though I'd still take the start of cave training in doubles. Save steps later having to figure out the whole balance factor with the manifold over your head etc.

    I'm thinking of side mounting later. Also I would have to rent any time dove entry level cave until I am ready to move to apprentice cave diver. I am using lp120s. Not yet tec certified. I also dive lake Erie and H-valves gives you that much more redundancy diving singles.

    if you're diving eerie, aren't a lot of those guys diving LP85's? Just find a set of those, you'll love them as doubles and sidemount cylinders. You'll hate those 120's for sidemount, they're way too big. Your call, but good luck finding them.

    I already have the LP 120s. the price was right. Just looking for some H-valves to put on them. They came with standard yoke K valves. Thanks for all the advise.
