Hello,
My dive shop in St. Croix is in the infancy of starting a technical division. we are currently teaching PADI TecRec courses through Tec Trimix and sidemount, and are working towards becoming rebreather friendly. We are already pumping high pressure O2, have a vendor for sorb/cartriges, and are looking to purchase some cylinders. We are hoping to not have to stock any sorb, and just order it and have it available if we know we are going to have a CCR diver coming down (we are technically in the US, so shipping is actually fairly quick). Not being a CCR diver myself, and not having any currently on staff, my only concern is which cylinders to order. I know every diver has their preference, however I was wondering what would be the best all around CCR cylinders to have on hand? Also, is there anything else you would be looking for in a "rebreather friendly" destination (aside from unlimited bottom times, which we are willing to accomodate)? Any input would be greatly appreciated, as we are hoping to be as accomodating as possible to our CCR divers.
thanks!
