rebreather diving on the big island and kauai

[scubanimal]

Mike,
A couple of things, i ran into an issue with TSA when trying to use carry-on for my tanks (rEvo). TSA decided at the security checkpoint that they were too heavy and required me to check them, and to return to the ticket counter to do so. While they were helpful in some small ways, it was an expensive pain, as I had already checked my bags, and had to get a 3rd bag to do this. Looking into afterwards, bottom line was TSA can do as they please. Being prepared may help.
you might want to PM TekSimple as well he has Kauai experience as well.
I would check with Jack's Diving Locker, they were just starting to set up a blending station and may support that now.

Definitely a bummer KonaAquatica closed. Jim really put his heart and soul into that business.

Oh, If I'm in town I'll be on that Hogan dive you mentioned.

There's a new operation in Kealakekua, in South of Kona, I think they're big into rebreathers, call them.

Heading for Kauai next month. I thought I had everything set up and suddenly got shut down by Kauai Rebreather and Technical. They will no longer even fill tanks for someone not diving with them. No support. Zero. Does anyone else fill O2 on Kauai. I can bring tanks and sorb, but I can't fill my own O2
