Thread 'Has anyone used gasbottlesdirect.com?'

Oct 3, 2017

As the title sugests... has anyone used gasbottlesdirect.com?

Need a few new cylinders, and as I live in Switzerland local costs are stratospheric (400chf/eur ish for a 12l tank).

I can get cylinders shipped to a German address by the site above for less than half that... but they only accept bank transfer which sets off a few alarm bells for me.

So before sending them near a grand, I was hoping someone has used them in the past...

I was wondered if more people could provide feedback on gasbottlesdirect.com
I want to purchase a 12L 300 bar and a 15L 300 bar cylinder (only) and it seems gasbottlesdirect is very well priced.

Has anyone got any feedback/experience on/with this company, their products, services etc.

If it smells too good to be true...
I have multiple friends who own dive shops. There isn't a profit margin worth noting on scuba tanks. No magic source of cheap ones. If there was, all the shops would be buying from them.

Thank you for your reply.
Some German DIR sites do sell their stuff... like Tek Diver Shop Tauchflaschen Gewindeadapter Tauchausrüstung
But please note that Czech wages are way lower then the UK or NL
... looking forward to more replies on this thread

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to location. Your local market may be different, as well as cylinder requirements.
