100 tanks in Key Largo

[kgillette15]

Does anyone know of dive centers that carry 100 tanks. My husband is an air hog and needs a bigger tank to dive with. I didn't know how hard it was to find bigger tanks so I thought I would ask. We found one dive center that has 100 tanks that are nitrox. I didn't know if any of the dive centers carry normal 100 tanks.

Thanks!

The standard tank in the Keys is an AL80. A few shops have (or had) LP steels.

Key Largo Dive Center has several AL100's (all Nitrox) available. Do call the dive shop at 305-451-5844 for more details and to reserve them in advance.

We got 100s at Conch Republic Divers

I do believe that Silent World has HP Steels for rent as well.

Don't feel safe expressing how to cheat - option.

Getting steel 100's is the better option. When in Maui, Hawaii - Extended Horizons charged an extra 5$ per tank. Well worth it. Needed less weight too.
Less buoyant on the way back up, staying at 15' was easier.

As already indicated: Conch Republic rents bigger tanks (I think Silent World does too).

I always use steel 100's at Conch Republic Divers

I absolutely hate aluminum 100's

And just ask for 21% nitrox if you are not nitrox certed or don't wan't to pay extra. I'd also recommend Conch Republic. They even rent doubles and stages!

I read this thinking, "Why does your husband need 100 tanks?". As in 100 actual tanks, not a 100 CF tank. Wow, he is an air hog!! LOL.

Conch Republic had 100's for my ex-husband airhog. Great shop!
