Rebreather Friendly
Dive Shop: We have always been a rebreather friendly dive shop
by allowing rebreathers on our boat. Now we have gone a step
further...We now offer sofnolime for sale and cylinders for rent.
Cylinders will fit the Evolution, Inspiration, Sport KISS,
Classic KISS, and Megalodon rebreathers. The Optima can use the
cylinders but we do not have the ExtendAir Cartridge as yet. We
are working on it.... Beneath the Sea: We recently attended the Beneath the Sea, consumer dive show in Secaucus, NJ. What a great time. The show was very busy. It is always exciting to visit with old friends and meet new ones. To all of our friends that dropped by the booth to see us, thanks and it was nice of you to take the time to say hello. We hope to see you on the Shadow soon. New Line of Equipment: We will be introducing new lines of equipment in our shop, including a new wetsuit line from Sweden called Waterproof, Poseidon regulators along with Manta reels, lift bags and Green Force light systems.

Luxfer Trade-In Program for 6351-Alloy Scuba Tanks: Luxfer Gas Cylinders has announced a new scuba tank trade-in program to enable owners of older Luxfer Scuba Tanks manufactured in the U.S. from 6351 aluminum alloy to trade in their tanks and receive credit towards the purchase of new scuba tanks made from Luxfer's proven, proprietary 6061 alloy.
