I'm in a little bit of a pickle.. Diving on Sunday morning (8:30) and need to pick up a steel 100 with 32 Nitrox. Can't seem to find a place that is open past 6pm on Saturday near Ft. Lauderdale that has one to rent. Any suggestions :nervous:?

Fill Express closes at 6 pm, so that won't help him.

One possibility, Divers Direct does nitrox fills (EAN32 only I believe) and is open well past six, I'm not sure if they rent tanks though. May be worth a call.

I know the Force-E in boca will rent some of their personal steel tanks (120's) if they are available. I know when I inquired, they were DIN only, but you may want to call the Boca and Pompano stores to check. I'm pretty sure they are open until at least 7 with their winter hours.

Have you asked the dive op you're going with to help you, or is this a private boat dive?

American Dive Center in Boca rents steel 100's. I made arrangements to pick one up after 6pm once. I think I got it around 7. That was under the previous ownership

American Dive Center - Florida Dive Industries Inc.

There's another one in Coral Springs.

Thanks everyone. Force e won't do it..the boat doesn't have any and American Dive center wants $20!. I think I'll just try and rearrange my schedule and pick it up at Fill Express..
