So I got a used scuba tank that had just been hydro'd and Visual within the past couple weeks. The only thing was it was made is 84, other then that it was a good deal and in great condition
Well, I took it a dive shop to have it filled and the guy told me they wouldn't fill tanks made before 88' because of some material in the tank that they have heard of issues with. OK fair enough, I wanted to say whats the point of hydro then, but I quickly took my tank to the next shop and the last shop lost my business.
Well when I got there, I asked them if they would fill a tank made before 88', and they said probably not. They checked out my tank and said they would in fact fill it, but it would need to have another Visual Inspection, they said because they didn't trust the other agency.
I thought, ok, whatever I need this thing filled, so when I came back to pick up the tank, I assumed it passed the visual because they filled it for me.
I really wanted to ask the guy "You essentially just charged me for something that I already knew"
Especially since they didn't even put some sort of visual inspection sticker on it...
Anyways, has anyone heard of this, or was I just taken advantage of a little
