Wtb Al 19

Would prefer 200 bar DIN or convertible valve, tell me/show me what you got!!!!!!!

Personally, I would go for something bigger, like a 30 or something.

The 19 seems to be a little small if you get caught off guard 80' or deeper.

Just my opinion, no professional recommendation here.

Well I agree that more is always better, you have to think about what what type of cylinder you would keep on you at all times. Personally I think 19 is right size where its not to big and bulky. You are most likely to sling it on every dive, and is more than enough to get from 80 without drowning. just my opinion of course.

I didn't choose my bottle because of convenience. It was bought for a purpose and is part of my gear, not just a piece of optional equipment because I didn't feel like carrying it with me that day.

As you said, more is better.

Do you sling it? OR Do you have it permanently connected to tank?

I've done both, but prefer to sling it. That way if someone else needs it I can hand it off and they can stay the hell away from me!

From what I have been reading, everyone has been saying to sling it. What do you think about your slung 30? I am interested to know about how it feels underwater, not having extra air.

I don't really feel it at all, unless I lay on my side or something, then it gently touches my leg.

Other than that, you might bump it on something from time to time, but you'll get used to it being there.

Hmm, that is interesting. What type of connection and reg are you using.

I might change my mind and go from 19 to 30 , but I was planing on going with
19cf with oceanic delta 4 (cold water reg) DINN

THEN NOT SURE IF I should go with quarter size guage or go with something similar to guage with hose attachment.

[ScubaDude]

Scubapro MK20 w/R190 reg.

Use the button gauge if you sling it, and a hose gauge if you wear it on your back.

Before you install the button gauge, sling it to your bc as if you were gonna dive it and choose the high pressure port that will allow the easiest view of the gauge.
