most dive shops will just fill it off a bottle for you, if you want to fill it straight off a dive compressor at a dive shop, a chap called tom allan on p8 forum sells an adaptor for £30 i think. best thing to do is ask the dive shop how they would fill it, but im guessing they would just use a dive bottle.

the one andy advised you to get is what is screwed into the master cylinder, and connects into you bottle/marker so a dive shop would need that one. theres a guy on p8talk called tom allen he makes them and i think there £30-40, or if you know of a good airgun shop near you they could do it, and there the same fitting as daystate's smaller fitting. but to answer your question you'll need the fill rig!

the confusion might be that there is two ways of filling at a dive centre, firstly off a bottle, and secondly off a compressor by using an adaptor to connect to the dive bottle fill whip. tom allan does both adapters.

All our fill stations have a legal paper trail from Manufacturer to end user.

Unfortunately this does cost a bit more but in the interests of safety it is vital. Also from the point of view of the shop it is the only way we can legally sell them.

See DTI web site on Pressure Vessel Regulations 1999.

If you buy one from Joe Schmo and it goes bang.... you get the picture.

I can't say it enough though. When it comes to 4500psi air don't get complacent because you use it regularly, don't take any chances. But then with 4500psi air you will only get one chance.
