The testing of pressure vessels such as diving cylinders, breathing air cylinders and paintball cylinders is a legally prescribed safety measure that must be carried out in Germany by an approved inspection body (ZÜS) and/or ADR in order to ensure operational safety. We offer this service in cooperation with DEKRA. The cylinders are prepared in-house and tested in the presence of the inspector. They are then dried and, if necessary, cleaned inside (photo documentation). As divers, we know exactly what is important and treat the cylinders as if they were our own. We can also carry out valve maintenance on request. The cylinders are ready for collection from us by the deadline and from Thursday of the following week. You can find further information on our website.
