Ok,

I am now up to about 20hrs on my YBOD, very much a newbie and at the point I need to seriously think about my complete setup.

My Diving will be at the end of all this max 100m, but thats a LONG away away, currently most of my dives are in the 30-40m til I get to Mod3 where I will be doing a max of 60-70 on a semi regular basis.

So many people have so many ideas, and I like that...

In Australia, people are recommending Luxfer 10.5ltr Ali, but with all the gear I take, I see two of these, plus my phenom housing / lights etc I am going to be very big underwater.

I saw some Luxfer 8ltrs that would fit my needs alot better (size wise)

Thats 1760 ltrs @ 24ltr pm (high world load, my usual is 14) = 18minutes @ 30m or 12 minutes @ 50m worse case !!!

Thoughts / Ideas and what you use would be great!

PS - I am not to sure if this has been covered, if so please flame me and point me to the correct location!
