    Default WTB HP 80's

    Looking for some "compact 80's" excuse my ignorance because I only know them by the slang name we used years ago, essentially just HP 80's, steel of course. Wife only needs 80 cu ft of air and these would be easier for her to get in the boat than a 100 is. I'm only considering steel as the total weight is lower.

    I have a set of steel fabre lp 80s rigged for sidemount if you are interested. I used them for my rebreather rig but am going to get a set of regular 85s. Bill

    Thanks, but I think LP80's are about the same size and weight of an HP 100?

    Don't know for sure without researching it, they don't seem that heavy to me, they are stubby though.

    I have a pair. There's a chance I could part with them. I have had them for a few years, but haven't used them much. They might be close to needing a hydro. I'll check 'em when I get a chance.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    A pair just came up on craigs list in the Tampa Bay region.
