I know that Jim Hoffman pumps Helium and I understand that Pacific Wilderness will soon begin this..
It's a lot like Nitrox, and the chicken and egg scenario..
The shops say there isn't a demand, the diver's say they can't get it so in that regard demand is light...
I think Jim Hoffman is in a better position than I am to comment on the availability, but given that the last couple of trips I've been involved in Jim has run out of Helium I'd say that it appears that Helium use is on the upswing...
