I have a set of HP100s, but I'd really prefer a set of LP104s.
I used to dive AL80 doubles too, but I got rid of them.

How about a set of LP107s? I can get the hydro and viz done on them. I'll trade you out right.

I'm not familiar with them... who makes them, and what are their characteristics?

Good question. And, what type of diving generally requires doubles?

LP104's
LP85's
Al 80's
have a set of 45's but split them for 02 bottles

As for what to use, that depends on the dive. For some cave dives, I'd take a set of LP120's, LP130's or HP150's (I like gas and if it trims out OK, I'll dive it). General OW dives, LP85's are sweet. (think HP100). Wetsuit, 80's are great

I doubled up my HP120's and will soon buy a second HP100 tank and then I'll double them.

As to what kind of diving you'd do with them, well it depends. For me I'm going to use them recreationally as well as technically. I've got some classes that require doubles and I intend to do some light wreck diving, ie non penetration dives. I also want to do some moderately deep dives as well.

As much as I love caves the thought of getting stuck in one at this point in my life scares me. The risk is more than I care to take. That's also why I won't be doing wreck penetration.
