Best place to get air/ tanks in Maui???

[Mauifish]

Every now and then you can get bad air. Sometimes it's not the compressor but instead the tank that's bad. I always recommend smelling the air before you leave the shop just to be sure. Just like sour milk or a skunk beer, you can end up with it even from the most reputable and reliable source. Take a whiff when you pick up the tanks and you will prevent most problems with diving on contaminated air.

B&B has great air, as do all the shops here. You will probably only save pennies between shops so is it really worth it to worry too much about where to get the "best" air deal?? I would place convenience at the top of my priority list when it comes to this subject. Who will be closest and most readily accessible to you?

I will say, in over nine years, I've never had a bad (or low) fill from B&B SCUBA at Azeka Place!

We've rented tanks from Maui Dive Shop at both the Kahana and Kaanapali stores and have had no problem with tanks or air at either.

You know it! I made a cool Scooter dive out of it today out to the St. Anthony Wreck (on B&B air by the way! MMMMmmm....They've got some Sweet Maui Air!).

As stated above, you won't go wrong getting air at any of the local shops. B&B is the only I am aware of that has a very few DIN tanks (Nitrox only I believe) But I'd plan on bringing a Yoke adapter either way as DIN is very hard to come by.

Price wise you'll pay nearly the same at Maui Dreams, B&B, Pacific of Maui Dive shop.

Many folks find Maui Dive Shop to be the most convenient as they can buy a 10 tank card for $40 and get a filled tank at any of the numerous MDS on the island.

Personally I get my fills at Pacific as it's hard to beat $2/fill ... but ya gotta buy quite a few for that price

I used a din valve from B&B with straight air but maybe things have changed. I guess all it takes is a phone call to find out
