Planning to go to Bikini and looking for tanks?

I recieved this note today from a group of unfortunate divers that had their plans of diving in Bikini dashed not once but twice. With that their advance planning may be able to help someone else...

Read below and respond to andrew@bluefootdiving.com if his misfortune could help you out.

************************************************** *********
Recently I sent a large number of tanks and Sofnolime to Bikini for 12 rebreather divers. Some of it was stolen en route, but a very large proportion made it.
There are 20 or more 3 litre tanks (steel and AL 19cft) 12 x 7 litre (Al 40's) and 2 x 2 litre tanks (13cft steel) and 2 x 12 litre tanks (Al 80's)

Unlike the tanks we never made it as we were thwarted by the flights from Majuro to Bikini on AMI on two separate occasions, such is the risk of diving in far away places (tears all around).
We will be heading back there to try again in 09 but in the interim if anyone is interested in renting tanks for a trip there I would be happy to make these available and save you the pain of getting them there.

Thanks
