Faber lp85 cylinder w/boot, gray

Description

The Faber LP85 is one of the most popular steel scuba cylinders available, known for its durability, compact size, and excellent buoyancy characteristics. With an 85 cubic foot capacity, this cylinder offers a great balance between gas supply and streamlined profile, making it a favorite among recreational and technical divers alike.

Constructed from high-strength steel, the LP85 allows for a low-pressure service rating (2640 PSI) while still providing substantial gas capacity. Many divers also appreciate the ability to safely overfill the cylinder to approximately 3000 PSI when permitted by local fill stations, increasing usable gas capacity.

Steel cylinders like the LP85 are preferred by many divers because they remain negatively buoyant throughout the dive, helping maintain better trim and reducing the need for additional weight.

The narrow diameter and balanced weight distribution make the LP85 comfortable to dive with and easy to transport, whether you're diving from shore, boat, or using it in a doubles configuration.
