AIR FILLS – NITROX (EAN) FILLS – PAINTBALL TANK FILLS
Cruise Fish Dive is proud to have one of the finest and safest fill stations anywhere. We follow all DOT, PSI/PCI, and OSHA guidelines, and use a containment center as all Fire Stations do., by filling your tanks in a Bauer CFS II blast containment center with a cascade fill panel. All our bank or storage bottles are brand new and have been O2 cleaned. Our Compressor is a 4 stage Bauer K14, which are known for being one of, if not the best breathing air compressors in the industry. We send our air out to an independent lab, Safety Labs Plus, for quarterly air testing and conduct in house air testing each and every batch, for CO & CO2.
Cruise Fish Dive offers standard scuba air fills, Nitrox (EAN) fills, and paintball cylinder fills for any cylinder that meets DOT and PSI/PCI specifications. Trimix will be available soon. We are proud to say we are one of the few Dive Centers on the West Coast of Florida with the proper training and qualifications to fill and inspect your tanks or cylinders safely, and without causing damage. All CFD Staff complete the required DOT FSO Hazmat Training and PSI/PCI cylinder inspection training, as well as several other certifications to ensure you receive a proper and safe fill each and every time. Standard Air Fills are to 21%. Nitrox/EAN Certified Divers can request custom blends from 22-40% for drop off service. We bank 30% Nitrox for walk-in fills which is safe to dive to the max recreational limit on a PO2 of 1.6. To get a full fill, please leave your tank(s) with us overnight or drop off in the morning for an afternoon pickup, so we can top it off while following safe fill standards of 200-600psi per minute depending on the mix. We try to run our compressor early in the morning or at night while the temperatures are cooler and fill from our storage banks during normal business hours. You may see we do things differently than other shops, and charge a little more, but this is to insure your and our safety as well as to protect your equipment. Never should a tank be filled in a water bath, over filled to let it cool to the tanks working pressure, or be filled to fast. The speed of a fill is not to exceed 300-600 psi/min for 21% and no more than 200 psi/min for Nitrox at 70 degrees. For a standard 80 cu. aluminum tank, it should take around 8-10 minutes minimum for a proper fill at 70 degrees, and longer if the air temp is warmer.
