Maryland Divers: Where do you get helium?

[cornfed]

I recently got certified in normoxic trimix, and want to start using trimix for some of the local ocean wrecks. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any shops in Maryland that pump helium. What are you Maryland trimix divers doing to get your trimix fills?

Columbia Scuba does not have helium but they do partial pressure nitrox fills so they have all the equipment. When I asked them about trimix they said they won't do it because they wouldn't sell enough to make it worth their while. I talked to them doing about doing air tops and they said as long as I was up up front about it and had the certs they wouldn't have a problem with it.

Thanks, that is the same thing that the other MD shops have told me.
