    Default Best place to fill bottles in Texas?

    Looking to do some cave diving around Texas whereabouts and looking for a shop (or friendly cave diver's garage) to get fills. Need to fill Trimix and deco bottles (willing to help pay for rental of K bottles if need be).

    Anybody have ideas?

    Close to the I35 Corridor is ideal (DFW, Austin, San Antonio)

    Call Mack at Oak Hill Scuba in SW Austin, he can take care of your mix/deco needs. Great guy, great shop, right equipment - Brandon

    Yes, many. The problem is access. Most TX caves are permit only, or on private land.

    This is a bit last minute, but we're scheduled to head south for Mexico in the next few days and need just a little bit more Helium for the road. Anybody in the Austin area have any Helium and/or a booster to help us out? The bottles we have are from Britain, they are non-DOT so dive shops may not be an option unless we can get an exemption.

    Project details are here: http://www.cdg-exped.org/

    Please shoot me a PM if you think you might be able to help. Best option would be a cave/sump diver with a garage setup. We only need ~30cf or so.

    Thanks,
    -Jon
