Equipment Forum>F.S. a pair of Al80's
Jimmer 06:39 PM 01-04-2009
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.

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...

Well a few reasons, I already have double 72's, which I prefer because I can wear less weight than with 80's. Secondly I need larger tanks for my deco class, so I'm selling these to make room for a pair of double 119's. If I dove in warmer water, I'd probably keep these, but they are a pain in a drysuit with thick undergarments.

I see, just being curious!

They do need quite a bit of ballast with the 400g undies, but lead is cheap and can be removed for the summer or when you dive the river.

It's probably tough to get two deco dives off one set of 80s though.

No, the most recent hydro was September 2008, so they aren't due again for hydro until September 2013.
