Does anyone know of any dive shops or hydrostatic testers in the area that are willing to perform a plus rating hydro on LP72s?

I have an older LP72 the came into my possession that has been out of hydro for some time but it looks like all of it's last hydros have had + ratings.

Assuming it passes hydro and qualifies for the plus rating, are there any shops that will still hydro with plus rating and fill to appropriate pressure?

I realize it might be more trouble than it's worth but I just figured I would ask.

I found a list of DOT approved hydrostatic testers and was going to go down the list and call them but I just figured I would ask here before doing so.

Try South shore divers...in weymouth
they did my hp100's with the plus
cheep also..

They did what?
 
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I also found out that Mass Diving will do the + rating as long as the tanks have an REE number.
 
Try United Divers in Somerville, they do hydros in house. Someone mentioned South Shore Divers, they send the tanks out to Beauchesne Fire Equipment in Attleboro Falls.
