We are staying at Eden Beach in Feb. 2007
Are the tanks easy to get to? We do alot of night dives, are we able to get tanks 24/7 without any problem?

Hi Terry, the answers to your two questions are both "Yes." :-)

I'm not sure I remember correctly so I may be wrong but the only issue is getting access to the nitrox analyzer after hours.

When we did a night dive we just took our tanks early and kept them in the truck.

Yes all true. Tanks everywhere but you can only analyze when they are open. Also make sure you analyze, the nitrox varied a lot, from 33% to 36% for a nominal 32%.

You can analyze 24/7.... if you take your own analyzer.

Cecil,
It's interesting that you saw such a variation. We used nitrox for a week and it was always 32 +/- 1/2%

It surprised Bart also. We checked them a few times and went through a few tanks before we found two that were near 32%. Maybe the membrane system needs to be rebooted.

Last year November I stayed at Eden beach and dived with Wannadive.
At night the cylinders stored at the parking were locked. For night dives, we had to take cylinders before 6 pm.

Did they had comments about not being able to get cylinders for night dives, they now keep it unlocked?

Erik.

They are locked but you have access. I won't go into detail.
