Buying Cylinders?

***Beanie*** · 11th May 2007, 09:25

I'm seriously considering getting another set of inspo cylinders, to allow different mixes and to cover multi day diving etc...

Cheapest I've found them so far is DiveLife at £89 :Faber 3lt Cylinders O2 Clean with inspiration valves

Anyone got any good sources (needs to be in the UK obviously due to carriage)

Thanks

That seems like a good price for a clean cyl/valve. Rebreatherspares are £87.25 for the dil and £105.34 for the O2. Go-Dive are £94 and £104 respectively. Plus postage of course!! Thinking of getting another dil one myself.

Sitting here with invoice in my paw.... Delivery from Rebreather Spares is £13.35 making total for 1 cylinder £102.06

By the way - delivery has taken more than a month (actually still not here although Invoice arrived today) ...they were out of recent dated cylinders

As an aside to the supply issue- I'm running a couple of O2 cylinders and if used and swapped back and forth wisely starting with a "good" fill you can get A LOT of diving out of two tanks.

As a second aside I found Go-Dive delivery to be very fast, even if they weren't the cheapest.

I bought valveless cylinders from Go Dive and found them to be 6 months gone on their manufacture date. Still I got two S/H valves (as MDE are not doing 232 at the mo) and they came to 55 each.
