In-Depth (http://www.fifthd.com/gear/intro.html)
His site is full of information on technical diving, with gear configurations, and info on build your own.
This site when completely finished looks as though it will be the place for
technical diving information.
Thanks Jon.
Below you will find dimensions and buoyancy data for
various tanks. Remember that buoyancy is different in salt water than in
fresh, and some of the specs do not tell you what kind of water the buoyancy
was measured in. Also, tanks vary from lot to lot, and they could be
slightly different from one run to the next.

cylinder at 0 psig (ambient sea level) has a delivered volume of 0 liters at
70F. 1 cubic foot = 28.316846592 liters.
