Re: O2 & 8-12 in Florida (Keys & Pensacola)

You really have to plan ahead to get sorb in the Keys...there are a couple shops that do Rebreather training on SCR's so they generally have sorb(but as I recall it's usually Sodasorb 4-8), but usually not much unless they have a big class coming up. Don't plan on getting O2 fills at any shop that doesn't do some kind of tech diving/training. I've had shops refuse to fill O2 down there just because they "never do straight O2"...even though they partial pressure mix nitrox.

My only recommendation is to call them a couple weeks out from your trip and find out if they can do it...and then be sure to check back with them shortly before you go. I assume you're flying down, otherwise you'd bring your own sorb....and probably flying into Miami. Worst case scenario, after you get in drive up to Lauderdale to Fill Express and get a keg of Sofnolime.
