Silent World's Gas Fills
You can't dive without something to breathe. Whether you're diving air or Nitrox, Silent World can usually fill your cylinders while you wait. Not only are we fast, our gas delivery system hyper-filters all of our fills, including air, to give you a breathing gas that is 50 times cleaner than conventional scuba compressed air (ever taste oil vapors in your air?).
Diving something more exotic? Not only can we can fill air and oxygen clean air, we have 3000 cu. ft. of EANx 32 in storage, as well as 1000 cu. ft. of EANx 45. We operate the largest Nitrox compressor in the Seattle area.
We can also fill your rebreather bottles.
What's with all these gases?
Argon
Argon is often used by Northwest divers to inflate their drysuits: it keeps divers much warmer than regular air.
Nitrox
Nitrox, also called EANx, is a gas mixture of air with added oxygen to provide a larger safety margin against decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis. Other benefits include:
Extended no-decompression limits, sometimes as much as two to three repetitive groups
Less post-dive fatigue
Many divers report being warmer on their dives!
