Comments about Genesis Catalina 80 Cubic Aluminum Tank with Genesis Pro Valve:

My old tank looks so beaten up next to the new one. All those years of annual inspection stickers, tank stamps and stickers I put on the tank to help me line up my BC give it a rough and tumble look. While I do not advocate banging up the new tank, a Leasire Pro sticker might be good advertising.

Comments about Genesis Catalina 80 Cubic Aluminum Tank with Genesis Pro Valve:

this is a nice tank but when i got it i had to pay 19.00 for reinpection,valve installation, since its recommended they do it,otherwise i would have done it, and the hassle to leave my tank there. by the time you add up the price, shipping,boot kit, reinspetion and fill, its not worth it, you save no money, however everything else i bought on leisure pro is awesome!!!!, i bought all my gear with LP its great.(sorry about the tank LP but its true)

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Genesis Catalina 80 Cubic Aluminum Tank with Genesis Pro Valve:

The tank is great. But, this is something that I bought online, and ended up wishing I didn't. Although I got a great price online, when I ended up taking it to my local dive shop to have the valve put on and have the tank filled I ended up getting charged for both. (things that the dive shop will through in if the tank is purchased there) This made the price almost the same.

Comments about Genesis Catalina 80 Cubic Aluminum Tank with Genesis Pro Valve:

Tank package was a good value -- includes K valve, boot, tank carrier, etc.

Works as expected, decent capacity @ 3000psi to start. Used regular filtered air, but can be used for enriched air as well. Used in 65+F fresh water and 70+F salt water.

Service & Delivery comments:

Delivered quickly via UPS with K valve not installed (as expected for safety reasons). Had to pay local dive shop $20 for visual inspection. Wish vis credit/coupon would be included.
