Air filling station in Banff / Canmore area

[frenchexplorer]

I'll be diving and kayaking during August long weekend in the Banff area.

I was wondering if there's an air filling station in Banff or nearby.


thank you for your help

One of the Calgary shops is your best option. As far as I'm aware there is nothing closer, if you're renting tanks from Calgary, grab as many as you will need before going out, otherwise its pretty much 1.5 hour drive each way.

Or there is Copper Island Diving in Salmon Arm if you are going that way.

Salmon Arm is 4-5 hours away from Banff. Just sayin'.

Calgary is your best opportunity. Where will you be coming from to get to Banff? Depending on direction, we may be able to point you to the most convenient shop.

All depends which way you are driving. I know I had to think strategically when I did a road trip from Vancouver to Banff and back while diving along the way. Of Course, if it's just Banff, then Calgary is your closest bet. How's the vis in Minnie. I'm heading that way in Aug. and want to dive the damsite

15' vis at best. Lake levels are very, very, low.

15's not bad. I'll take it. I was there years ago when I didn't have a camera and had to draw what I saw of the pump house. Now I have a camera.

I guess I will be doing only 2 dives than. I know the Jasper fire department are doing air fill and maybe it could've been the case too in Banff or Canmore.

Thanks for the feedback guys
