steel tank where to buy?

[h90]

I am looking to buy a 15 Liter 300 bar steel tank. Does anyone in Thailand sell these?

Sure. Here on Phuket for sale at Scubamarket, Divesupply and I presume also at Siam Diving and Aquamaster.

As far as I am aware and certainly in the UK 15 litre 300 bar steel cylinders are not available.

Dive Supply lists 228 bar, 13.2 liters internal volume max. Aquamasters also lists 13.2 liters max.

I tried to upload both catalogs for you but they are much larger than the SB PDF file size limit.

Ai, sorry, missed the 300 bar part of your question.

sorry for the late answer....
I found one in Germany (and I have regular seafreight from Austria to Thailand) so I think I give up searching in Thailand and import it.
By the way, I didn't tell why I need such an exotic tank.
Reason is that I want to travel with it, sometimes with bus and if I take 2x80 aluminium I would brake my neck walking somewhere with it.
One 300 bar 15 liter should be enough for 2 long simple dives somewhere without refilling.

Get a Al twinset on a backplate w/ a harness? That should give you enough gas for possibly three dives and be easy to carry mounted on the backplate.

I found them in Germany, Austria and in Thailand. But I need to check on the details.
the available one are 15.3 USA made and I am not sure if I can screw in valves from Germany. So I need to check that first.

If they are available in Germany/Austria would you be so kind as to let me know some details, I know several UK divers that would like to get their hands in 15 litre 300 bar cylinders.

Lord Khram, have you checked with Dave at Aquatech on Koh Tao, he has an independent supplier from somewhere.
Just a thought.
