Scuba compressor

I did just get a reply from Max Air. They say their Max Air 35 can fill the new pressed steel tanks. Although a local dive shop told me they had a 4500 psi but their specs show 3442.

If your not familiar with the new pressed steel they are much smaller and lighter than standard aluminum 80''s. Here''s a quick idea from their site:

E7-80
Smallest & lightest 80 cf diving cylinder available
Six inches shorter than aluminum 80 cylinders
Lighter weight when full than most 80 cf tanks are when empty
Negatively buoyant when empty
Very comfortable to wear, easy to carry
Ideal for novice, recreational and rental use


Here''s their site:

Another plus is that they are negatively boyant even when empty so you will not need as much weight on those damn weight belts (or pockets)

Also made in the USA.
