will I be ok?

Well when i purchase my package if i buy an al80 tank with it ill be getting a pretty good deal so im wondering if ill be ok with an al80 becuase i will diving in california where water temps can get pretty cold and i would be wearing a 7mm suit. I would buy a steel but funds are tight now and i dont want to hassle with having to rent a tank for dives.

So willi be ok?

Al al80 is pretty much standard in the dive world. You'll be fine.

Aluminum 80's are great. If your diving progresses beyond the air supplied by a single 80 then double 80's make a nice open water ocean rig. Then if you go even further into tech diving, 80's make good stage bottles. You can't go wrong with the aluminum 80.

WaterRat makes a good point that you could use them for stage bottles later. Or, if you should decide to just sell them down the road it's a commonly used tank and easy to move.
