🤿 The Diveavenue expert's opinion on the 18L tank

The 18L tank is a strategic choice. It is the missing link for those who feel limited by a 15L but don't want to switch to a twin tank yet. Its negative buoyancy at the end of the dive is a real treat for maintaining safety stops effortlessly. It is the ultimate 'comfort' tank, perfect for club outings where you really want to enjoy the seabed.

❓ Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Isn't this tank too heavy on the boat ? With an empty weight of around 20 to 22 kg, it is heavier than a 15-litre tank. However, this weight translates into increased comfort underwater thanks to better weight distribution on your back rather than your waist.

What type of valve can I install ? The M25x2 thread allows you to install almost any modern valve, whether it has one or two outlets.

Is it easy to find suitable caps ? Yes, the standard diameter of this tank allows you to easily fit a classic rubber cap to protect it from shocks and allow it to stand upright when assembling your equipment.
