They had lost a transitional fitting needed to fill the bottle so I've been waiting for about two weeks now. It's a good thing they got the part because there is literally no other place around who will fill it ! Don't ask me how or why they are so easy about filling the O2 but I checked every other dive shop within 100 miles and nobody would do it.
