I have no doubt that your local gun shop has an all singing all dancing compressor, however unless it is within 20 miles of Thirsk it hardly fits the bill.

I know all about compressors, filter stacks, air purity tests etc having being around the dive industry for over 20 years and I stick by my advice of staying away from compressors not currently tested for supplying breathing air. Quite apart from anything Joint Service Sub Aqua Diving Regs stipulate that only compressors tested and passing purity tests wihin the past 6 months may be used on military expeds. So if this is a military exped the SADS would check this.

Good point cloudbuster, I am corrected

Thanking you in antcipation

The BSAC website is the place to get some info http://www.divernet.com/cgi-bin/home.pl DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT A COMPRESSOR CERTIFIED FOR SUPPLYING BREATHING AIR

I can not find the contact details, but there is a PADI-type shop in the middle of York that I'm sure fills tanks (hopefully this is not too far away).

RAF Leeming has a diving club,

less than 20 miles

give them a try, I don't know the number but the Guardroom should have it somewhere.
