It is a pleasure to welcome Waterline Sports in Toronto to the accredited air station list. It is great to see their air analysis posted on the web as those of you with oxygen clean equipment can check their certificate and see their air also meets the requirements for 'oxygen compatible' air (OCA).

Dive Source in Whitby has also stated, "we will begin supplementing the high quality testing we already receive from Trace Analytics with additional testing from Maxxam labs this spring which will provide us with results from two independent and respected sources." Brian at Dive Source will be one of the few shops in Ontario testing quarterly to CSA Z180.1-00.
Once the dive season is underway for 2004 we will reconfirm those shops on last years list have up to date certificates, but in the meantime here is where the list stands.
The following Ontario shops have a recent Canadian air certificate showing they meet or exceed the requirements of CSA Z180.1 (2000) standard for compressed breathing air.
1. Dive Center, Ottawa www.divecenter.ca
2. Ron's Scuba, Cornwall
3. Dolphinos, Ottawa www.dolphinos.com
4. G&S Watersports, Tobermory www.gswatersports.com
5. Diver's Den, Tobermory www.diversden.ca
6. Burton's Dive Service, Ottawa www.burtonsdive.com
7. Abucs Scuba, Brockville www.divebrockville.com
8. Aquarius Scuba, Toronto www.aquariusscuba.com
9. Climb and Dive Toronto www.climbtoronto.com
10. St. Lawrence Diving Charters, Iroquois (no web site)
12. Waterline Sports, Toronto www.waterlinesports.com
Tests by the OUC are not recognized as accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Certifications must be less than six months old and preferably less than three months old.
If I have missed anyone please post the shop's name.
When you do purchase fills from these shops whose owners have made a genuine effort to provide Ontario divers with safe air please tell them this is why you are patronizing their store. Positive reinforcement works wonders.
More shops on the way and remember to stay Air Aware!
Edit: GTA changed to Ontario,..my bad.
