There is a big difference. $$$$$$$$ They have insurance premiums to pay, and you don't. Some will want to do Nitrox 1, or Nitrox 2 only. You, as master of your own demain, can pump anything you like. You will also have better control over the end result. They may tell you that it's the percentage you asked for, but unless you have your own analyzer. Well, your a very trusting sole to dive a mix without checking it yourself. If you have your own analyzer, then why pay someone else. The big question is. Are you responsible enough to keep everything clean, and in tip top shape? Remember your life depends on it. If not, pay the store. Then if you die, your family will have someone to sue. Come to think of it. If you don't possess the discipline to handle this yourself. Why even consider diving, let alone moving to other than air mixes. As for the quality of O2. I beg to differ with Ronnie. All O2 cylinders have a vacuum pulled when returned to the store. If purchased from Air Products anyway. It's the number of vacuums pulled, that differs between the various bottles. Air Products, by the way, has donated thousands of dollars of gas to various projects over the years. So if at all possible, please buy from a respected friend of the diving community. Steve --
