    I'm told that Simon and Dauin Dive Shop might be able to help you out. I would also recommend talking to Mike at Mike's Dauin Beach Resort. I know this isn't in Dumaguete proper but it's something.

    I don't know.
    Aquaventure whitetip on Locsin st and dive supply on jose romero extension both sell luxfer tanks AL80 or AL100.
    Best pricing is at aquaventure at aprox 170USD with valve (inclusive of the 30 or 40% industry discount which i think they give to everyone).
    dive supply have the same tanks with a little better valves for a bit more cost.
    if you can't get the discount send me a PM and we can sort something out.

    Any reason you want new tanks?/ why not buy used which will be less expensive..Make sure they are in current Hydro and VIP. Are you a certified diver ? If so,you should have no problem to purchase a tank..If the shop does not ask for certification,they are NOT the kind of shop you want to dive/shop with. Miguel

    No I'm not the reason why I asked. It will be used for another kind of hobby.

    I have doubts on using used tanks. I prefer new one for safety reason.

    Bouglez,
    no dive shop in the Philippines will ask you for any certification to purchase tanks or any gear for that matter. in fact I have never heard of any dive shop requiring certs to purchase equipment.
    Din is the better connection as it has a captured oring less likely to extrude but if its not for diving (im assuming airsoft or paint ball?) either will sufficient.
    Cheers.
