Hi all
I've just realised that my 3 litre divers bottle that I use for topping up my HW100 is out of test. As I have recently moved to Mundesley, Norwich from Hertfordshire, I was just wondering if any of you guys could recommend a decent divers shop that will retest my bottle for me, and also do the occasional refill as well,
Regards,
John

crystal seas scuba will do it - but its a full IDEST test - which costs about £60 quid - would n't touch my DOT tested bottle.
Flameskill in Yarmouth will also do it about £40 if I remember rightly
All are friendly and helpful
Forgive my ignorance but, what is a full IDEST test, and what is a DOT bottle. I am a complete novice where air bottles are concerned, but all I know is, My bottle is made by Hydrotech and is 3 litre in size. I bought it from the Airgun Centre in Rayleigh Essex with my HW100,

Hi John,
Jan 2016 they quoted by phone £46 to test and fill my 12ltr dumpy to 232 bar.
28/1/16 I paid £56 for the test, valve service and fill.
A fill on its own would be £4.50 at that time.
The test label I got says IDEST 4S (don't know what this means).
I paid a £20 "test deposit" when I dropped it off with them.
It passed and I got a 5yr test cert.

I use flame skill in gt Yarmouth for testing they usually do it the same day and refills wile you wait the only downside is that the test is not recognised at scuba diving shops so can be a problem if you want to fill most of the local clubs have there's done by them at waveney shooting club they have their own 300bar compressor and it's only £5 a fill
