Wondering about the practicality of shipping tanks ahead from a home in the U.S. to a destination in the U.S. when traveling. Is anything special required to ship tanks via UPS or USPS? I don't believe USPS allows compressed gasses, is an empty tank with an open valve acceptable? Are dive operators accustomed to or willing to help out with this sort of thing? Are the costs and hassle such that it's really better to deal with an AL80 or whatever the dive ops provide?
