Default F.S. a pair of Al80's
I have a pair of Catalina al80's, same batch #, would be a perfect match for doubles, or a couple of nice single tanks. Both are bead blasted finish. The only reason I'm selling is because I keep collecting tanks, and still need another set of doubles, so I'm trying to make some room in the dive locker. I'm located in Brantford.

-Genesis yoke valves
-Original hydro 04/97
-Current hydro 09/08
-Current VIP, but not O2 cleaned.

Asking $250 O.B.O. for the pair, willing to entertain trade suggestions.

Thanks,
Jim

I'm picking up a set of steel tanks soon, so start making offers on these suckers. I want them out of the gear room.

lol, yeah no kidding. I'm one of the collectors as well. I currently have double 45's for messing around on shallow dives, double 72's, about to pick up 2 119's for my deco class, 1 lp104, 5 al80's, 2 lp72's, 2 al40's, 1 al30, and an al6 for argon.

I need to make some room!!

Why don't you like double Al80s? They're pretty nice tanks...

Catalinas do not make for very good stages. Luxfers are preferred.

What would the difference be, why are Luxfers preferred?

The Catalina's are ass heavy, so they pull down when they are slung. The Luxfer's are light in the ass end, and with the valve and reg on them, they hang nose down, tail up when you sling them. I've done a few dives slinging an 80 for practice, and with the Luxfer, you don't even notice it's there.

As Jimmer said, the buoyancy characteristics are a bit different...The weird thing is, I've seen some Catalina's that sling pretty good..Must have a heavy reg attached to them lol
But the Luxfer's are the way to go...Once they hit about 2500 psi, from then on they ride awesome...
