    Filling dive bottle to 300bar in Essex

    Hi,

    Is there a list anywhere of dive shops that can fill bottles to 300 bar?

    If not, anyone know of any in Essex, the nearer to Rochford/Southend the better.

    I’ve contacted several that I managed to find on google but best they can do is 230 which don’t go far in a 3 litre bottle!

    Thanks

    Thameside Fire Protection in Basildon or Aqualand Divers in Baddow are the 2 closest that I have found that do 300 bar.

    The Baddow place you mention was one of the shops I’ve tried. I rang them today and they said the best they can do is up to 250 bar unfortunately. That may be the way to go though, as tend to be that way more than Basildon area.

    Thank you all for your help. I’ll give them a ring tomorrow to get something sorted.

    Spoke to the Orca Scuba place mentioned and they’ll do a 300 bar fill while you wait, plus it’s the closest to me so that’s a result.

    And it's a 'while you wait' service!
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're probably right.
