    Tell me where your Rapid shoots and I'll go and watch it in action. Why don't you come along too?

    Seriously Lionel, it does do as it's told. I've no complaints, as if it misses it's because i've pointed the thing in the wrong direction.
    Just jibing.

    Just empty your bottle before you go, at least that way you are getting a 300 Bar fill for your £4, its only air after all. Cheap for all those shots
    My dive shop is 2 mins up the road, very friendly and helpful, I dont mind giving him £3.50, he's had to layout for all the gear.

    It's not the Money, if it's 4quid then ok,but dont just make them up as you will,one day 4 quid the next4.50 ,what I 'am trying to point out is that we dont cost them alot of air so why the cold treatment.?

    Think yourselves lucky, my local dive shop has just changed from giving totally free fills to charging £8
    Basically he doesn't really want shooters in the shop anymore as he's apparently had a bit of grief from a few dickheads, so he's decided to charge an extortionate price to shooters.

    Divers still get free fills.

    Maybe you should walk into his shop donning full diver apparel, flippers, mask, lead weights the lot. Then demand your free fill.

    Mutt, do you go to Slough scuba to get yours filled?
    Gary, the owner, is a helpful chap. I just dropped my bottle into him for re-testing.

    Marcus.
    I've always found him to be sound too.
    I'm now waiting for my bottle to be done. He's gonna ring me to pick it up next Thursday.

    Snock, I go to Bisham Abbey Sports Centre 'Scuba Dive Training' http://www.scubadivetraining.co.uk/
    Used the guy over at Slough the first time, very friendly lot they are too, just use the Bisham one as its closer.

    There will always be one I guess who is not as friendly as others may be, I admit, the experience is nicer if they are friendly but if it bothers you that much, do as was suggested earlier and 'vote with your feet'
    Personally I would just put up with it if its in a convenient location to you, you probably dont need to go that often, at least get your 300 bars worth when you do
