looking for Faber 108's - Houston area

[Anders Knudsen]

Hi Forum,

I recently moved to to Houston, and as bringing a bunch of cylinders with me by plane was not really an option, I now have to find some cylinders.

I am looking for a pair of Faber 108's for sidemount I only dive a MSR bag as wing so unfortunately it seems like the 130's might be a bit heavy.

I would also be looking at a few 80's and a 40 but those are fairly easy to rent, so I am more interested in the 108's.

let me know if you have anything that could be of interest

Best regards

Anders

My buddy has a set of OMS 108s stored in Pearland I think he is looking to sell if you are interested I can get more info.

That would be great! they should have the same buoyancy characteristics as the Fabers right ?

OMS cylinders are made by Faber. The only difference is, they have US markings.

I am honestly not sure if these are or not, they were bought from CA a few years back. They seem heavy to me (dove them a few times). They lay really flat in the water though. Ill ping him for more info.

I bet they are LP 109's. I had a set that I got from Edd. They are like a 108 but with a heavier butt end so they din't get light. I could never trim them out without weights on my sholders. I am 6'4" so I am feet heavy anyway. If you are normally head heavy or using them with trimix they would probably work great.
