mike_s:If I go directly to hydro facility.$23 for hydro, visual, & airfill
If I get one of the Local Dive Shops to do it.$25 hydro
$10 visual
$ 6 airfill
------------
$41 bucks total
Now it's cheaper to go to the local hydro facility directly,, but I don't think the LDS's are overcharging for their service really as they have to pay for an employee to make two trips to the hydro facility. (one to drop off and another to pick up the tank). You're paying for convience with the LDS as they are also open later and open on saturday and our hydro facility isn't. (just something to consider).
The break down on the ticket was........$10 Vis(with O rings)
........$ 5 Airfill
........$35 Hydro(@ cost)
........$50 Total plus tax
He told me(twice) that he was only charging what the hydro cost him from the hydro place.....So, the reason for mine being a little higher than most was the hydro place's charges.......
