I just some tanks back from hydro, all passed but recommended changing out the burst discs on the valves. Anyone know where I can get those that size? I need to change out 10 tanks worth.

any dive shop should have them in stock. You'll need a visual inspection anyway...have them chage the disc out at the same time.

when I worked at the shop, we usually only had 2 or 3 for each size in stock. I think in 2 years of filling tanks, I've only had 2 let go. (it will scare the shift out of you). I think I had one let go on a Flower Garden trip while filling.
I really doubt 10 need to be replaced. Maybe one or two. (unless you are using steel tanks and overfilling them, then I'd believe it)

Overfilled steel tanks are the way to go........

where do you live, You can probably borrow mine.
I can do 2 dives on one tank while most people will use 2 aluminum 80s

which shop?
Sea Sports may be a drive for you, but they'd prolly have all the discs you need.

If one store doesn't have what you want, ask them to get everything you need from the other stores. If they have them in stock they'll get them all to one store for you.
