I can get 3500 fills in NH, Mass, RI and New York. I've been to Quebec too, they could do 300 bar fills. BTW the Clavella can do 3500 psi fills. If you are going out with them, bring your big tanks. It's hard to get enough bottom time in BC. Don't bother trying to take HP tanks to the Carib. They have trouble filling al80s to 3000. They try to limit your dive time that way. For the record, I have HP 120's but my next set(s) of doubles will be the PST104's. They have better boyancy characteristics. Stephen Galperin
