Do I need a diving certification in order to get a sport diving gas fill fill?
NO. To receive an Air fill, one does NOT require a SCUBA diving certification. WHY? Many persons involved in paint ball shooting own scuba cylinders in order to transfill their own smaller cylinder. Further, often the person who drops off or picks up a scuba cylinder in not a diver (for example, husband, who is not a diver drops off and picks up a cylinder for his wife who is a certified diver etc.) To receive a fill with any Nitrox mixture of 40% or less Oxygen content, we DO REQUIRE a Nitrox Diver certification.
