As a PADI professional, I do not recommend getting your tanks or rental gear from Aquarius Dive Shop. We’ve had issues before with workers being rude and faulty equipment rentals, but now the shop is just blatantly neglectful.
Today was the last straw. My friends were given a tank filled to 4500 psi and rental gear that can only withstand a maximum of 4000 psi. When I brought this up when returning our gear, they mentioned that this had been a regular issue with the people that have been filling the tanks. That is extremely dangerous and someone is going to get seriously hurt either at the shop from a tank explosion on the compressor or from their pressure gauge exploding when opening an overfilled tank.
I’ve been diving for 14 years all over the world and have never been so neglectfully given a tank with such an extreme fill. This is so preventable and they are obviously not taking diving regulations and safety seriously at Aquarius.
On top of the overfilled tank, my friends were given two computers that did not have working batteries. (Not the first time they’ve handed out non working computers to us) Their rental gear was not prepped even with a reservation and they had to wait for over an hour to get all their gear.
Additionally, one of the other tanks blew its valve, froze shut, and the tank dropped to 1500 psi so we could only dive for 15 minutes. Not worth your time or your life. Take your business elsewhere. – via
