Air Might Be Free

[clubshot 22]

But pumping it into Air bottles is getting more and more Expensive

 

As Filling Stations have to meet legal Requirements

 

As many will have noticed that Dive Shops are Charge more these day's for Filling Air bottles

 

As there costs have been rising Especially Electricty and Water Rates - if they have a water colled Pump

 

Plus Service Charges

As understand that Air Filter have to be changed more Often these day's

 

Also UK Diving scene is not having a good time and many Dive Shops have been closing Down

Often resulting in Longer Journey's to get Bottles Filled

 

I have several 300 Bar Bottles

But get my 12 litres Filled and decant in 3Litre bottles for the Field or my Ram Charger

 

I am Currently Paying £7.00 in North London - Dive Force Marine

Right pain in the 'arris ain't it!

 

We used to have a cracking little Dive shop right here in Rugby that did bottle filling and testing at great prices-they were part of the 'Mike's Diving Shop' franchise.

 

Unfortunately they decided to close down and the guy who ran that shop (Phil) has now got a little set up miles from anywhere just off junction 1 of the A14, the only other place is Midland Diving, both of these places are a good 40 mile round trip

 

It's a good job I'm just a hunter and not into paper punching or I'd be doing some serious miles! I reckon a 12 litre bottle is in order!

It's £4.00 down here in Exmouth and only a 10 minute walk from my house. The diving industry in Devon is not having any issues due to the hobby divers etc. As regards testing well they send them away to be done at the price of £27.

They do not question up to date test stamps on the bottle but will refuse any needing testing...

£4 here as well and it only takes 10 minutes
