Description

The XS Scuba Metal Impact Aluminum 80 cu ft Scuba Cylinder is the industry-standard scuba tank trusted by dive shops, training facilities, charter operations, and recreational divers around the world. Manufactured from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this cylinder offers an ideal combination of durability, reliability, and lightweight performance.

Widely recognized as the most popular scuba cylinder size in the diving industry, the 80 cubic foot aluminum tank is the go-to choice for recreational scuba diving, training programs, boat diving, and rental fleets. Its balanced buoyancy characteristics and versatile capacity make it suitable for divers of all experience levels.

Rated to a 3000 PSI (207 bar) service pressure, this cylinder provides approximately 77.5 cubic feet (11.1 liters) of gas capacity. The tank weighs 31.9 lbs. empty, is negative 1.5 lbs. when full, and becomes slightly positive at lower pressures, offering predictable buoyancy characteristics throughout the dive.

Unlike steel cylinders, aluminum cylinders do not rust. Instead, they form a protective oxide layer that helps resist ongoing corrosion and extends cylinder lifespan, making them a dependable choice for long-term use in saltwater and freshwater environments.
