Where to buy

This tank is well sought-after since it is slightly shorter in size but still holds the same amount of air as a regular aluminum tank, eg Catalina S80. It is the perfect fit for the petite, who are lucky to have low air consumption rates and don’t need any (or minimal) weights. 

It’s lesser length makes it much more comfortable and easier to carry. The constant negative buoyancy means there is no need to bring an extra few pounds as you might with an aluminum. Due to its compact size, it is also worth considering as a twin set as the slimmer profile might help with freer moments.
