what gives with Diving Shops?

[Nealsey]

I got charged £2 in Tal arms to charge my 7litre 300 bar bottle today. No hassle and courteous with it.

Some of these places are a bit precious about being a "dive shop" and frown a bit on us
humble airgunners.

I have a shop in Newbury where the bloke can only be described as rude. So I determined
that he doesn't need my money and I don't need his service.

I have just had the valve changed on my 3 Ltr 232 Bar cylinder (from an 'A' clamp to DIN Gun Valve), they did this while I waited and then refilled the cylinder, from pulling into carpark to starting engine 20 minutes . I also sorted out a few other things. Was only charged for the new valve and guage, no charge for the refilling of the cylinder. What's the name of this shop I hear you ask, SDS Watersports, Sheffield. FANTASTIC service, GREAT staff and BLOOMING BRILLIANT prices. I'll be going back there when my cylinders (3 Ltr 232 Bar & 12 Ltr 300Bar) need testing as they do all the testing in house, so should only take 2 to 3 days.

Agree totally but easier said than done sometimes.
