Hello,
Been reading threads for a couple of years now. First post. I dive SoCal (mostly SD) but also a bit of NoCal and wherever I travel (Red Sea, Japan, Med). 170+ dives. First layer of TDI Technical (deco/helitrox).
I am looking for suggestions. With a bad back and heart attack, my double 100s are a bit much for shore dives. I got some old tanks that I am trying to pair, 76s (yes). They are Faber/scubapros with no REEs. I read up on this Board and contacted Bud at BlueSteel. He kindly got the REEs. LDS won't plus them w/o receiving the REEs direct from Faber and Bud got ticked when I raised this with him. He did share the email from his Faber contact, which was again super generous, but LDS is not going to budge.
Anyway, has anyone had any success with a hydro place in SoCal and old tanks with + and REE from the distributor (email)? Perhaps I am SOL but want to keep these tanks at their intended pressure. Thank you.
