    Default Next set of SM cylinders, what should I get?

    So I LOVE my LP85's but I want to add a second set so I'm not running to the closest shop for fills after my first dive. What should my next set be? 95, 104, 120???
    It wasn't a big deal when I lived in CC... but now when I come down any time wasted in the middle of the day really impacts my dive time.

    Thanks,

    Tim

    What you really, really need, is a pair of Worthington lp 77's. Now they are hard to find, but I happen to have a spare set.

    Just buy a second set of 85s. Unless you absolutely need more gas. But if youre just looking for a second set get a second set of what you got

    I have 2 sets of lp 72's (2250 psi) and ABSOLUTELY LOVE them for open water.

    Was thinking if I'm going to buy, might as well go up in size, but is there an equivalent to the 85's with a larger volume?

    To extend dive time, would be the obvious answer

    That isnt always the case. Sometimes moving up in tank size adds weight and drag and actually limits the pros of extra gas. Really depends on many factors

    Maybe a stage would be a better or another choice.
