Hi Allan,

Sorry to insist but you are not right.

it´s not so direct.

in luxfer europe web site don´t have bouyanci details.

the european similar size 10,4 litres - 232 bar - 16 kg weigth when empty it´s 1,65kg positive .

In Europe don´t exist similar caracterictic model.

Hi Allan,

i will check tomorrow.

probably they tested without valves and regulator, and that fact could change everything.

Jose,

The luxfer 80 has been CE approved and is available in various places in europe (DivingNikNaks, DIR-Zone, Tauch und reiseweld).

Its about 207 bar, if you're talking about the same one I think you are.

Yep, I own a S80 that is CE marked as well as Oxygen and it's fairly neutral in water.
It was bought in Italy.

There is a buoyancy calculator at www.subaqua.co.uk

Hi guys,

i talked to luxfer directly.

The european model 10,4 litres , 232 bar, weight 16,1kg. ( similar with s80), in water but empty is 1,65kg positive.

BUT they didi the tests without valves and Regulator.

if we put valve and reg ( both +-1,5 kg), the tank will be neutral as s80.

it´s the same caracteristics model.

cheers

José

Are you sure that's the same one? The length is only 560mm. The US AL80 is listed at 26" ~ 660mm.

I think this might be the small fat 10L bottle that they sell in the UK. I've tried these, they are horrible as stages, really hard to handle.
