Hi Everyone,

I dove the Worthington 30's or 4.1 litre Pony Series cylinders on my CK the other day from the beach. I took 11 pounds off my belt. I am using a dry suit in cold water. The trim was almost too horizontal, and I did notice the difference in some low back strain I assume was due to arching too hard to get my head up. Things I do like are...The valves sit back and out a bit so are easier to grab. The cylinders do not hit the hose to stack disconnects. Less weight on the belt. Lots of dives per fill. The regulators are easier to take off as the are more acccessable. I only have the one 40 minute shore dive to judge from. We are off for some real dives this weekend in Nanaimo BC. I'll know more after, and will report back. So Far...so good. As for cost go to Tech Diving Limited online, Joel has them for $135.00 USD and free shipping in the USA. Craig
