Are there any dive shops other than Captain Don's providing Nitrox fills on Bonaire?

Buddy Dive, Photo Tours, and Plaza/Toucan do as well. But you can usually get a nitrox tank from the other dive operators that they had filled by one of the dive ops that does have its own Nitrox fill station.

Thanks Linda. Toucan will do just fine.
I assume that the procedure is similar to here in Europe, where we have to check the O2 content of the fill we're being sold & then sign for it?
If so, do we need to bring an O2 analiser with us, or will Toucan provide one for us to do this check with?

Andy, my partner tells me that Toucan have the analisers. The PADI rules on Bonaire will be the same as in Europe as far as checking your own air goes etc..??? I'm sure that Steve or someone who is familiar with the procedure will fill you in and confirm... S

Buddy dive at the drive through air fill station offers nitrox fills ( very convenient ) They use the continuous blend membrane system, and they limit the mix to a max of EAN 36. You do have to analyze the mixture and they provide the analyzer.

P.S. I'm the one who is asking about Deco Gas in my post, so if anyone has info reguarding mixtures of 50% or higher - please respond!!!

Is this the same Andy that had Nitrox from Toucan a few months back....or am I missing a thread here?
Rob, I'm on my way to answer your other question.
