Okay, So I sticker my tanks for notrox. Then I have to buy another set or two of doubles and singles for air (because filling "NITROX TANKS" with air would also violate standards). Then another couple sets of doubles for Tri-Mix. Get a FU&%$NG Life you back woods weenies! You must not want any real divers in your so called dive shop. Do you realy think I (or anyone else) are going to buy SIX sets of doubles pluse singles plus stage bottles just to make a bunch of know nothing do nothing red neck jirks happy! Frankly I feel you and any other dive shop with this aditude can pound sand. If it has a curent visual and hydro put air in it! If it has an O2 clean sticker on it fill it ONLY if you have a compatable grade of air (if not I don't want it my tanks any way). When CGA, IANTD, ANDI, PADI, OSHA, and the host of other agancies come together and adopt ONE set for standards fine! Use it. Untill then NO "Community Standard" is present. Only agancy standard exist. But draining a set of tanks and removing the stickers that are on them to put air in them and closing an isolator in the prosses is hardly complying with any standards I am aware of! When a customer brings tanks in for a fill, I will fill them if: 1) They'r trained for the gas requested 2) The tanks are current for Visual and Hydro 3) Oxygen is to be added they must comply with ONE OR MORE agencies standards (any one or more). 4) The tanks are filled with a gas other than air the customer MUST anilize the tanks and sign a waver stating the FO2 and MOD of the gas before leaving with the gas. 5) The tanks MUST be labled with the contents and MOD if they contain other than air. You were not asked to provide NITROX or any other gas is this not corect? The tanks were curent for VIS and hydro is this not corect? So what is your big problem puting some EAN 21 into tanks labled "BREATHING GAS OTHER THAN AIR" I can assure you I will not set foot into your facility and I WILL RECOMEND to others that they do not use your facility eather. I vote with my check book and you just lost the election.
