Very cool! I used to get air at New England Divers Beverly MA. They had a super cool fill station. That is the air was super cooled. They'd fill a 72 in 2 minutes and it wasn't even warm to the touch!

I don't have anything near as interesting as you akimbo.
I do have one on a patio decor tank, more local than anything, but here it is. I haven't found much about the group though. Tank dates '75.

Florida Underwater Counsel ran the recompression chamber in Miami back in the mid to late 70's. They even had a monthly news letter (The Unbender). I was a member! The really cool thing? They would give "chamber rides". Drop you down to 160' in the chamber then bring you back. I took a "ride" in 1977. I would have to check but I think they went out of business in the early or mid 80's.

I have the sticker also.
