Nitrox shortage????

[sandiegoaes]

Ahhh.... I have missed the old "The world is running out of helium" and "How much does a T bottle of He cost in your area?" threads on the Deco Stop. Nice rephrasing of an old standby!

Finally dawned on me…
I see fields of welding grade Oxygen, no shortage.
Thought that’s what “everybody” used.
For SCUBA.

I’m still alive
Rule breaker that I am
I ain’t right, but it isn’t the 02.

Can't do that. You will die.

I would think most people use Aviator Breathing Oxygen (ABO) good for human consumption but no prescription issues.

Or welding O2, with a higher purity requirement but that actually comes out of the same tank.

Where else can you get $5 nitrox fills??!!!

Dubai

I've had 3 different people locally (Chicago) tell me they are out of O2 and have been waiting for more.

Just came across this in Maui. Hasn't been an issue at my local shops here in SoCal.

I was able to pick up 12 bottles of medical yesterday in Detroit. They hadn't heard of any shortage.

when where you in Maui?
here in Hawaii there has been a ingress in Covid and the governor on Monday up'ed the covid restrictions where you now need to show you vax card to eat at an indoor restaurants, maybe all the O2 is being diverted to the hospitals
