Chris,

It's not just in Canada.   Many of the dive shops in the Detroit, MI USA area
will not fill a tank with Nitrox unless the tank is label nitrox ...etc.

If you should want the dive shop to put a normoxic fill in the tank, they will
remove the nitrox label.  Thereby requiring you to have the tank cleaned again
for nitrox use.

Now if you are filling the tanks yourself (homebrew) with nitrox then you don't
have to label the tanks.  But, most (not all) dive shops require the tanks to
be labeled for the gas content other then air.

How about it divers, What's the norm for the dive shops in your area?
