Take a PSI inspection class. They give them all the time. Then get liability insurance and find a shop that will accept your name on a sticker. Some will not. They want to see a dive shop name on there. Not that it means anything but it makes them feel good.

SDI/TDI also does a class that is more practical and less regulation. Check with any SDI shop.

Find the dive shops that will accept a generic or your personal sticker first, the groups offering the classes seem to forget they are not regulating bodies for tank inspection and the dive shops happily ignore those certifications.

it would be better to take the class , buy your own compressor and inspect and fill only your tanks for your use. That saves the liability insurance and you will never make enough off VIP ing tanks to cover your insurance costs and you would be crazy to do it with out insurance. Just defending your self in a lawsuit that you were totally innocent and free of wrong doing would still break the bank
just my 2 PSI

I agree with Herb on the inspecting of other cylinders. There is a liability to consider. As such, I inspect my own cylinders. I have enough to make it worth while and my local shops know me so my stickers are accepted. I would inspect cylinders for a shop if they wanted to hire me as then any liability would be covered under their umbrella.

Tanks a lot for the info guys. I am slowly looking to start a scuba business in the future so the insurance would be there regardless. This is just one more thing I can offer the people I can come into contact with. I am also trying to start "garage" small because I work A LOT, and this is something I can do on the side.
Lots of great things started in garages, basements, and even living rooms! Go for it!
Yeah.... Apple, good Music, and much more...
