LP 95's for trade for longer tanks
looking to trade a set of faber 95's for either 8" tanks in 108+ or x7-120 comparable size
The 95's are just a touch too short for me in sidemount when I use my thicker thermal and even with the straps at the bottom of the tank I'm still very feet heavy.
Tanks are in Bham, AL but I can meet anywhere in cave country and maybe in TN/ N AL/GA depending on if I'm diving any of the cold water caves up that way.
How would you like a nice set of PST 104's? I'm 40 miles away from you. They are heavy enough to keep the feet down,
or weight down a picnic table in a hurricane, or keep your car from floating off in a flood. I'll pm my cell and work numbers.
If cave diving were Star Wars, who would be Yoda?
Hunter I wish you would have mentioned it this weekend. I would have let you try my LP 112s.
Edit: never mind. I missed the LP 95 part. I'm looking for either HP 95s or LP 85s sorry

Seems you're right. I guess I was looking at the specs for the HP 100 and thinking it was a HP 95. Thanks for catching that.
Are you using any trim weights on your harness?

Nope, and I would prefer to keep it that way. I would much rather carry more gas than extra lead
Longer cylinders will only make you more foot heavy. Faber 95s are not the contributing problem. What fins are you using?

He had the bands all the way to the bottom of the 95s, and couldn't get the tanks up any higher. I am pretty sure he was diving an Hollis SMS100. You might be right though. If there is any part of the tanks sticking down below the bands, it will add weight behind him.

Tanks too short can very well cause a problem regardless of fins.
