    My nearest Dive centre charges about £44 ish ,that was about 1-2 years ago.
    Find a dive centre local to you and give them a call,they will probably send it off to a test station anyway.

    Try Slaters diving in Preston http://www.slatersscuba.co.uk/
    or Canary divers in Rishton near Blackburn .http://www.canarydivers.com/
    Usually around 35 to 40 pounds for the full test

    If you're going second hand on bottles, I'd recommend 300bar bottles as they will give you more fill of your pcp. The trouble with 232bar bottles is you only have 32 bar before the pressure equalises with the required pcp pressure, so less fills.

    If its an aluminium bottle it needs a different test.
    about £60 I believe.
