Faber can offer you the most comprehensive range of cylinders for Scuba Diving. Every year we produce and sell around the world 100.000 cylinders for scuba diving (out of 600.000 in totals). No other manufacturer in the world can match our capabilities and the breadth of our range. Faber Tanks and valves are nitroxready.
Cylinders come equipped with a DIN/K type valve that easily converts back and forth depending on the type of First-Stage Regulator to be used in conjunction with the cylinder increasing the versatility of the tank. Steel cylinders are heavier then the same capacity aluminum cylinder. This characteristic has many advantages. The heavier construction allows the diver to remove lead weight fromtheir weight belt or integrated weight system of the BCD, allowing the diver to better distribute weight by moving it to the rear of the BCD a great advantage when wearing a back inflation style (Wing) BCD.
Aluminum cylinders as we breathe the weight of air from them create positive buoyancy at or near the end of a dive. The steel cylinder with its negative buoyancy throughout the dive allows you to shed the excess lead that is requiredto keep you properly trimmed while you dive an aluminum cylinder. Faber HP cylinders have a round bottom and come equipped witha cylinder boot.

Excellent tanks and the white is great for students to be able to see you when vis is bad, our vis in the PNW can be from 2-10ft.

Comments about Faber Blue Steel 2009 Faber High Pressure Steel Tank:
Nice tank but the boot that comes with it is the rubber type and will cause rust if left on.
Also the valve was cheap - I recommend you purchase the Worthington steel tanks instead. I bought one of each. They were cheaper and better valve

Comments about Faber Blue Steel 2009 Faber High Pressure Steel Tank:
Great tank, Carry less weight on your BC due to this tank being neutrally buoyant.
