   Kent, this is typical PADI officious weenery. The key to these guys is to do 
no business with them. I can give you numbers to call to get anything you want, 
any way you want it, and you will not have to talk to a know-it-all dive 
instructor or other ranking PADI strokes. We buy our tanks from Sports
Authority 
still in the box with the valve separate. The guy there, luckily , does not
even 
know how to dive, so I don't have to listed to any officious PADI wisdom. For 
steel tanks, call Divers Supply or OMS - they will mail them to you. If you
need 
the correct Argon bottle, call Brent Scarabin. - G
