How much you pay Lime for the Kg ?

Joseph Grech · 6th September 2005, 15:38

I was just wondering how much you guys are currently paying lime for the kilo. Here in Malta we are paying around 7 euros per Kg, which in my opinon is quite expensive.

£60-65 for 20KG
£3 per KG ~ €4.5

Think I paid approx. €95 for a 20 kg drum last time so that makes it just under €5 per kg.

If I get 8 fills from a drum that's roughly €12 per fill. If each fill lasts me 3 hours then lime costs me €4 per hour of diving.

Last month in the Red Sea we were charged £20 - or €30 - per fill or €12 per kg. But we knew in advance it would be expensive because of Egyptian import duty etc. And the dives were excellent so it was worth it.

Hi Beanie,

Does your £60-65 / 20kg include vat & shipping? - The last load of lime I got from AP worked out at close to £75 / 20kg all in, which was a significant increase over the preceding lot I got in. If there's somewhere cheaper, they can have my custom!

Cheers,
Colin

as a comparison spherasorb is around £2/kg and seems to last as long as 797.

2 x 90 min (50-60m) dives in 17deg water at the weekend and only the bottom few inches had gone purple!
