i just bought a 0.8L ready to go kit from Fat Bob and then i brought it down to a diver who said he would fill it but when i brought it down to him but he said he couldn't and i needed a snap valve which he would fit into a DIN adapter, but where do i get a snap valve or do i have to buy a fill adapter from the shop. He said it might also be called a pull ring. Does anyone else get there tank filled around Belfast or known where to get it done.
First off be careful if your filling it yourself. Air at that pressure isn't something to be lapse with.
On the other hand as long as you use the right fittings and fill the bottle slowly you should have no problems.
The air fill station here will be what you need.

This regulates air into the bottle by attaching the fill nipple and allowing you to fill, it also allows you to safely vent excess air so that you can release the nipple again :)
Just ensure that if you do fill the bottle yourself you do not fill it past 3000psi.
