Seems like you have had some bad luck then. Always seemed to have lucked out on the cylinder side even in some more out of the way places across the globe. In fact it would have been impractical to carry cylinders to some of the places I have been, especially when doing up to 3 dives a day (sometimes 4 if you include a night dive) depending on depths.
