In Japan Air must be in a grey tank with a green band . This is a national
standard and unless your tank has a current hydrostamp they wont fill it.

This is a good idea its the rec scuba guys who make the mistakes so if the
air tanks are identified and the shops will only put air in this color tank
the dangers to the resort diver guys are minimised.

The only nitrox i've seen here is for the Fiena its a semi closed circuit
nitrox rebreather and it only uses 3 l tanks.
