LoL - Yes lets go THERE instead!
FWIW, Blue Angel has their own fill station, and when I was there last month every tank was 3000#.
Maybe I misunderstood you? When you said:
I assumed you were saying that BA had that going for them in comparison to someone else. I was wondering who doesn't fill to 3000 regularly in 80 and making the point the biggest filler on the island hits 3000 all the time pretty much.
Did I No entiendo?

They are not frequently mentioned on this forum, but I have had good experiences with Deep Exposure.
Mostly experienced divers on their boats.

wow - i was surprised to get home, check the thread, and see that it bloomed!
as mentioned in the original post, this was a last minute trip, and it left me no time to get on the cozumel program. i'm grateful that aldora was able to accommodate me without notice. it was my first time in cozumel, and diving with a (big) steel tank as well. i enjoyed both. the cost was much more than i'm used to paying (i'm active on the philippines forum), but minute for dive minute probably not exceptionally so. if it's in budget, and you want the extended dive time, i can recommend them. enjoyed the long dives, enjoyed diving without weight, and appreciated that they have boats and/or dive masters dedicated to skill set. also appreciated that i could hang back, rely on my own computer, and do my own thing with the camera, which sometimes means swimming in place, without interfering with anyone else's dive.
as for the 'who handles the wetsuit' problem - they don't touch it. that's not an issue, but they don't store it over night either. luckily i was staying in a small condo building and could rinse it myself and hang it in a tree to mostly drip and dry before bringing it in for the night. an inconvenience, but not a deal breaker under the circumstances.
thank you all for being so willing to help with quick advice! it saved a few dives at least.
