Diving bottle Steel 12 Liter Long 300 bar Double set DIR Stainless steel bands and Isolation manifold

12 liter bottle long 300 bar double set

A 12 liter double set at 300 bar gives a really long dive time and provides a good weight distribution when you move underwater. It is equipped with isolation manifold and DIR style stainless steel bands. This makes the kit suitable for technical diving.

12 liter bottles are some of the most widespread and common sizes in Denmark. The 12 liters refers to the "amount of milk that could be in the diving bottle if it was a milk boy :)" and the 171 mm is how wide the bottle is in diameter.

Virtually all bottles in 12 liters and 171 mm are also approved to be filled with 300 bar, which in this case is 3600 liters of free air. If you use the bottles for a double set, just multiply the number by two. This diving bottle is what you would normally call long compared to a 12 liter 203mm bottle, and although both bottles contain the same amount of free air, there may be a slight difference in who benefits most from this size.

Since the bottles have a round bottom, a foot must be used for the bottle to stand.

Who can use this type of diving bottle?

A long 171mm, 12 liter diving bottle is best for you who are taller than 175cm as it will give you a better balance underwater. If you are shorter, you can use a 10 liter bottle as it will give you almost as much air. In addition, it is easier to transport around land.

One ​​of the most common questions from our customers is how long you can dive with such a double set, and the correct answer is that it depends on many factors, such as depth, breathing rate, how relaxed you are, etc. Our normal answer is that if you are over 175 and have the courage to carry an extra weight, then you can advantageously buy this 12 liter double set because it provides a good safety margin on dives up to + 25 metres.

Sensible additions

Many people buy the bottle net because it gives the bottle extra protection against scratches (net) when you have to fill it or transport it around the diving site.

Since this double set has bottles with round bottoms, it may be advantageous to buy a foot so that the bottles can stand.

For both net and foot, the bottles must be cleaned once in a while to avoid rust.

We can supply virtually all kinds of valves, so if you don't find the product you want, just ask.
