Shops with booster - ScubaAl - 07-11-2009

Hello, Everyone

      Interested in which shops in the area have boosters. Main interest for me would be boosting O2. Do most of my mixing at home, but as the O2 cylinders drop I'm limited in what I can get into my oxygen bottle on my rebreather.
      I do want to get my own booster, but like most people, money is tight. Guess I should go dig in my couch cushion and see what I can come up with. Hey found $2.39, almost there..................

Thanks, Al

Al, as far as I know, GUDC and Smith Diving both boost O2 (and Helium).  I am not sure of any others.
Later,

Wazee Sports also can boost if down that way.

Dive Wazee often, know Keith has a booster. But does he boost O2? If I recall he doesn't, but that could of changed.

Mostly I will be using a booster for my 3L rebreather bottles. Wanting to
be able to bring my O2 bottles up to 3000psi. Now I'm filling from 2 bottles
of O2 and so I'am limited by whats in them.
I also would use a booster to get the max out of my "T" of helium.
There would also be times when I might mix a 80 for bailout.

UPDATE:

                Keith at Wazee Sports Center does now have a booster for O2. Got a couple of fills from him yesterday.
