Still no response. Bummer. So where is everyone getting nitrox fills now? PDC?
I'm south of FE and am not thrilled with going to Diver's Direct to get my fills. May go back to my old shop, Coastal Marine, but they never seemed to give good fills on my HP80s..

Yeah there are no shops to fill the terrible void that FE left. I guess I'll haul down to underseas.

I have been getting fills at Force-E on Federal in Pompano for several years.
I was pretty exclusive to Fill Express until the name changed and the hours of operation were reduced, and reduced, and did I say reduced.

Has not doved a tank of air in over 12 years.

I just heard about it today from Matt when I was at UnderSeas Sports with an out of town friend who is borrowing my tanks as we were getting them filled at USS. Since I've gotten 98% of my airfills at USS since 1981, I won't personally feel the void, but I know that FE and GDF were stand up operations and I'm very sorry for the loss to the local diving community.
Just remember that Divers Direct requires a green and yellow nitrox sticker on your tank to fill nitrox from their pre-blend banks.
Since those stickers look terrible in cave photos, cost money, can hide corrosion, should be replaced annually, and contain no useful information for anybody as you should always analyze before you dive anything, I can't use Divers Direct for fills. I'm sure I'm not the only one
Ah yeah, forgot about those nasty stickers.. thanks for the reminder.

Can't means Won't.

Not even if if I have to fill them up myself with a bicycle pump, and cutting torch O2 bottle.
