For air, nitrox?

Air mostly
Thanks

It's like 2 or 3 hundredish I think for air around the city. You'll nickel and dime searching around, I'd factor distance into it more than $40, you'll end up paying $3-$5 for a fill.

Air fills at the Edge even with a card are still $ 9 bucks a fill
That's outrageous I think
I've heard that OQ is as low as 5 bucks a tank with a card

Any ideas where the best deal can be had..........the only thing about the Edge is that its in NV and that's close for me

Call IDC and OQ and ask them how much their annual air fills are?

UBC has a $50 membership fee and free air for a year! but you have to drive to UBC and they are not open weekends.

Just keep in mind the price of gasoline too when you're going to be driving all out towards the middle of nowhere relative to you and back(and in traffic).

GPD had a sale $50 for 10 fills.
So i bought 2 cards

Not sure if they're still having them.

GPD is in surrey bc on 152nd street near guildford mall.

Air sux! Use nitrox!

IDC has a deal on unlimited Nitrox fills (2 tanks) for one year for about $600 plus tax. Good deal if you dive regularly.

What you will find, is that it will be best to use the shop that is closest to where you live, that has convenient hours, etc, so you can drop your tanks immediately after diving. You can call around and try to find the best deal, then ask the LDS that is most convenient to you to match the price. :cool2:
