Anyone know where to get 4500psi Scuba tanks?

[DryIce]

I have been searching the net for a 4500 psi scuba tank and have yet to find one. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to buy a 4500 psi scuba tank online. All ive seen listed so far is 3000 psi and 3300 psi.
Thanks.

Diversdirect has em. Steel and heavy as heck. Problem is getting a fill adapter for em. You found one for the J type or even euporean K type?

[DryIce]

Hmm...
Here is my adapter and I dont think it will fit the J or K type

Thats a J type style fill. But will it handle 4500 psi is the question? I do not know but sure am interested in the answer. A lot of the HP SCUBAS are K type fitting for some reason. Wonder why?

You are going to have a tough time getting them filled. Most scuba shops don't have the capability to fill that far.

thats the question i was wondering too "can it handle 4500 psi".
Im going to take it to my local dive shop and find this out.
And yes my local dive shop does do 4500 fills.
Its 5 dollars for any size tank 3000 psi and 6 dollars any size tank 4500 psi.

yeah.. you can fill some scuba equip way higher. You need to leave the tanks upright and leave at least 50 pounds of pressure in them to prevent backflow. A pressure of 50 PSI in a tank hydrotested to 5,000 PSI is not a significant risk.
These tanks are HEAVY!

Sorry... it was Divers Discount that has them. It's this required DIN connection I am most concerned about. Required on tanks over 3300 psi. Whats up with that? See if the dive shop can tell you.

as far as i know boosters are fairly expensive... anyone have an exact price?
I called around about nitroducks before but i can't remember the price.

What about boosters? Air America has a manual booster. Nitroduck is about to announce one in the SpyderCup. I'm just wondering about the prices, ease of use and safety, if anyone knows.
