Bulk Buy Trimix Fills
At The Scuba Doctor we have just made trimix fills cheaper with another innovative idea for regular trimix divers - bulk buy Helium.
How It Works
The Scuba Doctor buys 1 x “g” size cylinder (10,000 litres) of high purity Helium for our price, currently $319. We charge you for that $319, i.e. 3.19 cents per litre.
12 months rental for the cylinder is also charged at $15.81 per month = $189.72 per year. This fee is only payable once per annum regardless of the number of full cylinders purchased through the year. The cylinder is stored at The Scuba Doctor
Standard prices for Air and Oxygen are added, along with a $25 blending fee.
Example:
The sample mixing sheet shown, details how much Helium is used at each fill allowing us to keep an accurate record of your Helium use. When you have used all, or most, of your Helium, simply pay for another cylinder at $319.
Your cost for the fill shown on the sample sheet would be:
2525 litres of Helium at 3.19 cents per litre = $75.75.
Already paid for when you purchase the cylinder.
Therefore your costs at the fill time are:
Oxygen: $18.33
Air: $5.00
Blending fee: $25.00
GST: $4.83
Total: $53.16
Even when you add the actual $75.75 for Helium, your total cost is $177.24, compared with the sample cost of $247.40, a saving of $70.16.
Also avoided are the costs of decanting whips, cylinder storage and compressors at home.
