Where to buy

For many, Faber is their go-to brand for scuba cylinders. Their esteemed reputation is due to the fact that all their tanks are made from high-grade steel. Their steel in their tanks is the lightest on the market and made with such precision the weight is uniformly distributed. 

The HP100 is one of their most popular products, great in all styles of diving

Things we like:

  • Steel is a more reliable material
  • Same dimensions as standard s80 but increased capacity
  • Stays negative throughout the dive
  • Can be used with both DIN & Yoke
  • Faber is the best at steel tanks

Things we don't like:

  • Comparatively more expensive
  • High-pressure tanks are not always so easily filled
