If you need to get the required amount of air contact
Jim Bunch (JB) or Bev at Sea Scan Dive Center 919-480-3467
Jim 919-480-3145 Bev 919-441-4447	

You will have to drive to Nags Head but he will keep the store open, or
arrange to meet you there at a given time.  Just tell him what you are
doing. He has gone out of his way for me in the past.

Regards Alex
