What Website to Buy DIN Tanks in USA?

[SnorkelLA]

Just like the title says, I have gotten all of my DIN tanks secondhand so far, because I could not find an online website to buy them. Does anyone know of a good, reputable dealer that will sell DIN tanks, in 80cft and 100cft?

I've checked Leisurepro and Scuba.com under the searches DIN and DIN tanks and came up fruitless :/

+1 on Dive Gear Express, I've also purchased tanks from Dive Right In Scuba. While they charge shipping for tanks, they also have a points program.

Most of the online shops will include a Pro-Valve or offer a Pro-Valve as an upgrade to any cylinder, thus allowing any cylinder to accept a DIN regulator.

Just a few online retailers that I have dealt with:

Scubatoys
Dive Gear Express
Northeast Scuba Supply
Dive Seekers
Piranha Dive Manufacturing
Dive Right in Scuba

If the the online website does not specify what type of valve, call them up to verify. I am sure Leisure Pro will sell a tank with Pro-Valve.

Piranha Dive Manufacturing is located not to far from the Faber warehouse.

Do you want 300 bar or 200 bar valves? Make sure you check that as well before you order. I prefer to use 300 bar, although I have both 200 and 300. If you buy a "Pro-valve" it is only going to come in 200 bar, and a 300 bar will not accept the yoke insert.

Dive Gear Express is a good place to start. You can also buy tanks without valves locally to save on the shipping and then order the valves. This may or may not be cheaper.

All my DIN tanks came from ScubaToys - they can definitely set you up, but you may need to call . . . I am local, so not sure how the options are presented on the web site, but they definitely stock everything you need!

I need 300s

DGE does sell the 300's in the modular L/R style that you can later add an isolator to if you want to double them up or add an H-valve. This is how I buy all of mine that I buy new.

Part numbers SPM-TV8063LH and SPM-TV8063RH.

I myself hate the 300's if only because I'm lazy and don't want to spend the extra few minutes screwing the valve in.

However, since you're looking for the 300 valve Dive Gear Express can upgrade the tanks to those valves for an extra $10

LOL. Damn brother, how long does it take you to screw in a regulator!
