I used a 6cf bottle on a 230fsw OC trimix dive and finished a 72min dive with 800psi left. Next time I will have a 14cf tank. 6cf should be fine for rec dives under an hour but I would have a backup the first few dives until you nail down your consumption rate.

I'm going to be training on the SK sometime this season.

I'm going to get the Salvo Argon first stage, and I'll mount the rig on my plate with the single piece of webbing and bungie method.

What bottle should I get?

I was thinking, since I'll only be using air for dil, for a while to just get a 3000psi 6cf Al tank, and just use air, instead of argon?
