New topic: DIR vs. DIW

[Chris H]

Jon answered the question about the versatility of the 80s. Gert also mentioned his fondness for these tanks and they have done more tech diving than I could dream of.

I'm using the same manifold (Scubapro) on my 80s that Todd has on his E8-119s. Like todd said, I think they are fairly universal.

I like the 80s because I can actually move when I am out of the water. There is plenty of air, and you have complete redundancy if you have a failure. Bob at Divepoint has some of the best prices and by far the largest inventory of any shop I've been to.

I wear a 6 pound V weight with my double 80s and a SS backplate. I love not having a weight belt. This is with a drysuit and the whole nine yards. Todd wears no extra weight with the double 120s and could probably get by with an aluminum backplate. We both have Bare ATR-HD drysuits and similar gear configuration other than that.
