Question Diamond hole drill bit for drilling tanks in Canada

Where might I find a nice one new in the Greater Vancouver area? Or even online within Canada? I would like to put one inch bulkheads in some of my tanks. I believe that requires a 1' 3/4" hole. But even a set of varying sizes could suffice.

Thank you.

I did a couple 3" holes with a bit from mops.ca. Worked quite well. Can probably only do a few holes with it but for the price its worth it.

Princess Auto in Kelowna told me they couldn't even order them for me. I special ordered from a building supply store, couldn't find any on the shelves anywhere.

mops.ca ....I bought a set of 4 of the most common sizes to our needs and the cost was $52 including shipping. They were fast getting them to me.

I've seen these on sale at Co-op. I got mine on eBay though. Came from Hong Kong, took just over a week to come.
