Rating: Catalina Tanks and Valve
Reviewer: Michel L.,
I am extremely happy with the purchase of 2 Catalina (80 Cu Ft)Tanks and valves. Catalina tanks are known for their quality. Not only that there the best deal around, but the shipping was also super fast. Thank You Scuba.com.

Rating: Good product, nothing fancy.
Reviewer: Bryan K., - View all my reviews
As a pragmatic and safety focused diver I always look for good solid products - this tank falls into this category, not too much to say - nothing fancy, it does what it is supposed to do...the only slight oddity (to me) - yes, its black!

Rating: Simply a great tank
Reviewer: Wayne Bergeron, - View all my reviews
This is a great tank for the money. I just got the Sherwood tank in bright yellow and as with all of their products it was outstanding. There was one hiccup in that the valve was not included in the box with the tank, but with one phone call the scuba.com folks made it right and got the valve to me. No problems getting the tank filled with the visual inspection sticker on the tank.

Rating: Excellent Aluminum 80s
Reviewer: Van Kyzar,
The Sherwood Aluminum 80 scuba cylinder from scuba.com is an excellent product at an excellent price. Simply remove it from its box, screw down the Sherwood K-Valve that comes paired with it and its ready for an air fill and ready to dive. It is truly a 5 star product at a 2 star price.

Rating: Nice Value Tank
Reviewer: Bob Buker, - View all my reviews
Attractive tank that wont show minor scuffs and dings. No coating to flake off in boat or on other equipment. Well packaged for shipment. Inspection sticker was not accepted by local dive shop for first air fill. I am very pleased with the purchase though.

how many minutes of air dose the tank hold
Clarke (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)

Hello Trace, Thank you for your inquiry! Excellent question… “How many minutes of air does this tank hold”, is a question that cannot readily be answered due to too many variables; Your depth, the dive activity, the diver’s conditioning, ect. You can calculate your SCR (Surface Consumption Rate), with the NAUI Scuba Dive Calculator Surface Air Consumption Wheel: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-120/058048/NAUI-Scuba-Dive-Calculator-Surface-Air-Consumption.html If you have other questions, need help or would like to place an order, please contact SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: info@scuba.com
Daniel:
I have a Sherwood 80 tank which I think its from the year 97, is it safe for me to use?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello Daniel, as long as it is current in both the VIP (which is a sticker) and Hydro date (which is stamped into the neck of the tank) it is ok to get filled. If either of these date are expired that you will need to get your tank serviced. If you have any worries then I would suggest taking it to your local scuba shop and have them take a look at your tank. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822
Rick:
I have heard that aluminum is not healthy for us. Have you heard any pros/cons along this line with aluminum vs steel?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Aluminum is the most common material used for the manufacturing of scuba cylinders. Of all the pro/con arguments between aluminum and steel scuba tanks, this isn't one to concern yourself with.
ben:
It the 25.9" length with or without the included K-valve. Also, Im using this in a pneumatic scenario and was wondering if anyone knew a lighter tank that is still as stable?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
I am looking for an aluminium tank whose diving depth capacity is 40m.
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Cylinders are not typically rated in diving depth capacity. Technically speaking, a 6 cubic foot tank will get you to 100 ft. It's not enough air to get back or do anything once you get there, but it's enough air to get there. The average scuba tanks used for divers at all the recreational depths is the Aluminum 80 cubic foot tank.
