Subject: Re: How much do you pay for O2 fills?
10 cents a cubic foot is what you'd pay as a walk-in to industrial gas
distributors. Transportation costs and demurrage on large O2 bottles costs
a bunch in Juneau, I'd guess. Go to a gas supply place and buy a 330 cu ft
bottle (rent it) and fill your own, It would be cheaper than a dive shop.
