Scuba Diving Lessons : How to Refill a Scuba Cylinder

Refill a scuba cylinder for diving by determining what pressure to fill the tank to, closing the bleed valve and then opening the main valve to let in air. Use a compressor system to fill scuba diving cylinders with instructions from a scuba instructor in this free video on scuba diving.

@divetech11 I think the people who made this are assuming that the tanks are all recently tested/made and have been drained completely.

Have watched the video and read the comments so far. Hhmmmmm.

Lets for a moment set aside the fact that the star of this amateur video has not mentioned test dates and how to identify if indeed it is in test- never ever open the valves on both whip and cylinder until the compressor itself as built sufficiently higher pressure than what the cylinder has still got stored within.

Also there is no dive qualification that covers you for filling cylinders ! P.S All info is fact and not fiction......

You're only required to show your c-card when buying air. It is not necessary to posess a c-card to buy equipment (tanks, compressors).
