Twins / 300bar 10s or standard 12s

[Ivan66]

Hi,

I currently dive on a single 15L, I'm thinking of getting my first twin set. Any opinions please on weather it would be better to get 300bar 10s or standard 12s. there are LDS's near me that fill to 300bar so thats not a problem. Also is ther much weight difference between a 232bar and 300bar cylander of the same size.

Thanks.

I would say twin 12's - 10's are too short to be comfortable when sat down.

i have twin 12's and my bud twin 10's 300's.

size and weight are very similar.(bout 1 inch shorter)
the 10 's are beaver tho so are a bit taller than fabers.

getting a full fill is a pain .

Get twin 12 300 bar cylinders yes they are heavier than 232's but you loose allot of wieght and if you can only get 232 fills you havent lost anything

i have two sets and have never had a problem PM me if you need anything

I have 300bar 10L twins and they solved a problem for me but I wouldn't recommend them for normal use.

They are short in height, which is what I needed, but that can be a snag putting them on as you can't sit straight into them. Also when I have to let somebody else fill for me I always end up short as people can pump to 305 ish so I get a hot fill while a 232 can be overblown a bit and cool back into range.

I use twin 15's with Posiedon w100 wing. Most people gasp at the thought of the weight but when on my back dont find it a problem, but must say the posiedon wing makes it very comfey.
