Several have hit on the point of tanks with nitrox bands. I have a site that will not fill air in a nitrox tank without charging for nitrox. IE any tank is 8 for air and 16 for nitrox. If the tank has a nitrox sticker that is what they charge. Another site will scrape the sticker if they put air in the tank so you get nitrox or pay the nitrox processing to simplify the process. One site I go to says they do not know if they have air that is e or hyp e. They just get a pass or no pass on the air testing. Since the shop does not deal in nitrox they have no idea, when the air analysis comes back, if it meets hyp e or not. Another site claims that their liability ins does not cover filling nitrox tanks. There are shops that say nitrox is nitrox so 23% is the same as 32% when pricing. Others say banked is one price and custom is another. Nitrox is a hassel in many cases, especially if you own your own tanks.
A final kicker a site with 25' water does nitrox fills. Why cause you cant put air in a nitrox tank. Go figure....................
