Resort/dive shop/dive site recommendations

I stayed at Tarimindo B&B for a month recently. It was a solo trip. It was nice, clean, and very affordable. Located on Calle 4 a few blocks from Isis. Walk to town and the intown piers. In August we are staying at the Tarimindo bungalows located in Corpus Christi neighborhood. It's still a quick walk to town and piers for pickup. We always rent a car but both locations are great if you choose not to.

Yes, Aldora has high capacity tanks, 120s which are just slightly taller than alum 80s, 100s which are smaller than alum 80s, and with MUCH better buoyancy characteristics than alum 100. For the very petite we have high pressure 80s that look like pony tanks! Since we have our own compressor facility we can blend nitrox in any tank.

And yes, when the property had Legionaires disease in the water supply it was called the Wyndham…thus the quick name change. Many name changes since then and I don't even know what to call it now.

Aldora has 120 cu ft nitrox tanks. I would not be surprised if they have 100 cu ft nitrox tanks.

OK.

In my initial post about this I specified "nitrox from Meridiano" as only coming in 80cf aluminum cylinders. Doesn't Dave do his own air fills and nitrox blending?

My primary point is that, for most shops, nitrox is readily available and 100cf aluminum cylinders are available but that a diver shouldn't count on being able to get 100cf nitrox cylinders. My impression from Christi's response is that *she* can supply this because she has a supply of dedicated nitrox 100's, but I didn't think she was saying this was commonly available. If this is incorrect, please let me know. It might be a good idea to provide specific examples of shops that get their fills from Meridiano and can supply nitrox 100's. As of now, I only know of Blue XT Sea.
