Why Choose a Steel Scuba Tank?

Many experienced divers prefer steel cylinders because they remain more negatively buoyant throughout the dive, reducing the amount of weight needed on a weight belt or integrated BCD system. Steel tanks are also more resistant to dents and damage while providing excellent long-term durability.

The HP120 offers significantly more breathing gas than standard recreational cylinders, making it ideal for extended dives, cold-water diving, photography, wreck diving, and technical applications.

Perfect For

• Recreational diving
• Technical diving
• Deep diving
• Cold water diving
• Wreck diving
• Public safety diving
• Dive professionals
• Divers wanting longer bottom times

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the HP120 steel tank larger than an aluminum 80?

While it carries substantially more air, the steel construction allows the HP120 to remain relatively compact compared to aluminum cylinders with similar capacity.

Why choose a steel cylinder over aluminum?

Steel tanks are more durable, provide better buoyancy characteristics, require less lead weight, and typically last for many years with proper inspections and maintenance.

Does this tank include a valve?

Yes. The Faber HP120 includes a quality Sherwood Pro Valve.

Can Coral Sea Scuba inspect and fill this tank?

Yes. Coral Sea Scuba offers tank inspections, hydrostatic testing coordination, air fills, Nitrox fills, and cylinder maintenance to help keep your equipment dive ready.
