Rating: 130 cu.ft. steel tank
Reviewer: Sylvain LeBlanc,  - View all my reviews
very good product. only slightly wider than my regular aluminum 80 and shorter. no need to carry excessive amount of lead anymore. the only draw back is the round bottom makes it impossible to store upright. good quality valve fits both din/ yoke. best price anywhere. quick delivery. highly recommended.

Rating: Great bottom time with this tank.
Reviewer: Charles C.,
I have now used my XS Scuba 130 CF, High pressure tank twice. They have done a very good job in creating a tank which maximizes your air time, while still being managable in size. Previously I was using my aluminum 80 and was a little worried that the slightly larger diameter and length would make me less mobile in the water. However, I am 510 and feel that I get around just fine with my new 130. Also, it is nice to completely lose my weightbelt, and only carry about 8 pounds in my bcd removable pockets. One caution, I would only recommend this tank if an individual is relatively strong. At the end of my beach dives, I find that having the extra weight carried in the tank makes you a little less stable and vulnerable to being knocked down by waves, as opposed to carrying the weight on your hips in your weight belt.

Great. Did my first dives and I was hooked. Not much bigger than an AL 80, and requires less lead. Wouldnt go back to aluminum.

Great tank lots of bottom time, I always used twin 72s but this tank seems much better to me. I have been diving since 1960 and have used lots of different tanks but I really like this one a lot. Its a great thak if you can handle the weight. Have Fun. Hoo Yah !!

Rating: Lots of air.
Reviewer: Andrew S.,  - View all my reviews
Im a brand new diver and wanted a large enough tank so I wouldnt have to make my dive buddy cut there dive short because I was low on air. This tank was deffinatly the correct choice, it is my dive being cut short because my buddy is low on air.

Rating: Tank, boot, valve
Reviewer: Forest Rothchild,   
As part of the all in one package of purchasing the tank, the boot, Pro Valve and the tank were included. To date, everything has worked great. Assembly was a snap, and I have had no problem. The boot is a black plastic boot that holds the tanks up. So I am grateful for the package, because with the free shipping (took less than 5 days to arrive) I saved over $100 compared to my local shop for the same product. Keep in mind, XS scuba tanks are Worthington tanks (one of the best in the business). So you really cant go wrong. Enjoy.

Rating: I love this tank
Reviewer: Bob Thompson,  - View all my reviews
This tank is great on two levels. 1st off Im an air hog, so this tank give me plenty of bottom time with some left over. Secondly this tank is heavy enough to keep me negative at the end of the dive with out any extra weight.
