Default Cylinders - UK to Canada

Does anyone here know anything about taking UK cylinders over to
Canada? I'm living in Vancouver right now and I'm trying to find out if
it's possible to get my twin 12 232s filled if I bring them over...

Some dive shops have said they would only need a hydro, but others have
said that they'd need to get all of the cylinder markings and they
don't know how that could be done...

Any experiences?

Dan.

Default Re: Cylinders - UK to Canada

Why don't you contact the maker (probably Faber / Aqualuung) as they should
be able to tell you of any differences.

If Canada uses the same standards as the US then the other problem could be
that your cylinder neck thread & valves are Metric (as is most of the world)
but the Us still uses the old Imperial (AF sizes I believe).

As they are already matched then it's Ok, but getting servicing or if a
valve is damaged getting a replacement in the US could be an issue (you may
need to import the correct type of valve from Europe, where most are made
anyway.
