    Hi Jimmy,

    www.divegear.ie have two cylinders for sale at the moment.

    1 12ltr and 1 15ltr both in 232bar. (€165 & €185). Both are in test until 2011.

    I remember getting an email there a while ago from oceandivers.ie telling about selling off rental equipment.

    Even if that has passed, it might be an idea to contact some PADI clubs around, and look at some ex rental material.

    How much were you looking to spend?

    If you have a few spare minutes, look around some of the main scubastore sites: www.scubastore.com www.simplyscuba.com www.lucasdivestore.com

    If you have an idea on what equipment you like, i find www.scubaboard.com great for getting some good feedback or you can post messages to the manufactures.

    Thanks very much Cipher I have my PADI since 2006 but have joined a Club since November and doing CFT I passed my Pool test the other night and have done my visit to the local doctor and all is fine I did not think PADI was that big in Ireland I thought it was more Holiday based Like Turkey and Spain but you learn every day Thanks for the tips on the sites I am planing on spending 200 to 250 tomorrow on a BCD but what make

    Cheers Jimmy

    As mentioned it's worth looking at divegear.ie , good range of second hand gear up there. As for regs and tanks, check if they're in service... if not factor in the cost of getting that done.

    You can click the different categories on the left of the site to browse just for tanks, regs etc.

    George at Lambay is very good for servicing if you need it: http://www.lambaydiving.com/

    You could always ask the seller to get the reg serviced and you'd pay the cost.... then if it didn't pass the service you wouldn't take the hit! ;)

    Cheers
