Are their any shops in or around vortex that might have a right hand valve tank they'd rent?

Just moving to sidemount and would like to dive the doubles( mainly for the experience, and because I like the tanks....not a cave diver, nor do I have a death wish in attempting to do so...). Vortex dive shop says they have DIN tanks for rent, but do not have right hand( reversed, any term I can think of) valves tanks for rent. I think we're going to get a hotel in ponce de leon Saturday night, will roll in from Gulf shores Saturday morning. Down under had to cancel the Sunday trip, we where the only fools still coming lol!!

Would also be keen to meet any locals and say hi, we're coming in from southeast Texas and always like to meet divers( or potential contacts for dive partners in other areas!).
 
I'm a pretty new sidemount diver and have never really found right hand valve rentals in the panhandle (or in the Keys for that matter). I've dove sidemount at Vortex and just used a tank with a regular valve. Not optimal, but it works OK.
