I get my 1953 2600psi us divers steel 80 filled at my LDS. They're so dumb there that they would fill anything. It used to be a great shop when I worked back there in the '80's and it was owned by the original owner. Since then they went public and have 30 shops throughout California. I don't even know if they have divers working there anymore. I think they substitute people from the shoe dept or something.

Just had my 1955 and 1958 tanks filled today at the LDS. Soon as they saw the current hydros & VIPs everyone was happy. And they don't mind vintage divers on the shop's charter boat either; I'm signed up for week after next. If anyone's ever planning diving at Jacksonville, FL, look up Steve at Atlantic Pro Divers, they're vintage friendly! :) (And no, not getting paid to say that)
Quick Robin, to the Voitmobile!
