    Default WTB LP50's or LP85's

    Just getting started into sidemount and looking for some lp50's or 85's. Located in North AL, but can meet around Marianna FL in a couple of weeks.

    Aluminum 80?s are nice too. Often overlooked.

    50s are a great sm bailout tank, but for OC cave diving they're very limiting. 85s wouls be the way to go unless you're looking for 50s for really tight stuff (aka actual sidemount) or OW diving.

    They're great sump bottles.

    Gross. That means getting all muddy and sweaty while trying to enjoy a dive.

    I help do recoveries and we aren't in the water for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. We just switched over to sidemount for the redundancy and ability to enter vehicles or watercraft.

    Then 50s are good
