Where to rent tanks?

rhlee · Aug 28, 2008

Hi guys,

My wife and I are going to be in the Boston area and diving with Cape Ann Divers on 9/13. I'm looking for suggestions on where we can rent tanks. We're looking for 4 single steel tanks (LP80, HP100 something like that) and 2 AL80's of 32%. Alternatively, 2 sets of steel doubles instead of the 4 singles would be fine too.

Any pointers would be appreciated

thanks,
-Rob

CAD should be able to set you up with rental tanks.

Sorry I missed the part about 32% they don't fill nitrox.

What Altitude said...just arrange them through Cape Ann Divers. It's by far the most convenient option, particularly if you're planning on doing any shore diving on Cape Ann in addition to your boat diving with them (and there aren't any other options on Cape Ann that I'm aware of....)

When I talked to them, they said they don't pump nitrox...

I'll be staying in Burlington, so i'm willing to drive a little bit (within reason) to hit other shops... I just don't know where they are.

I pump Nitrox in danvers (less than 20 min from gloucester) and can take care of you.

Freedom Diving is also in Gloucester. I have never done business with them (they are relatively new and I have not been diving much the last couple of years) so I don't know about the nitrox.

There's a dive shop in Burlington (Burlington Scuba) but AFAIK they don't pump nitrox either.

Northeast Scuba in Chelmsford is not too far from Burlington (maybe 20 minutes as long as it's not rush hour.) Though it's kinda the wrong direction, not on the way to Cape Ann. But it's a tech oriented shop that I think rents doubles and may have more tank options than some places.

This site has a list of shops. I'm not sure how up to date it is.

somewhat out of date. I know East Coast divers closed the Framingham location a while back, and Aqua Shack closed up years ago. It's missing PGDive, which has been around for a few years at least.

Steve at Atlantic Divers can hook you up, you will go past his shop right on your way to Gloucester.
