hello guys jut wondering if you could help, im looking to get a dive tank and adapter just wondering how many times would a tank last and which is the best adapter cheers dan

you need a din adaptor & bottle sizes are 12ltr & 15ltr if your filling a 1.1 bottle you should get 8-10 fills out of it bearing in mind most of the fills will be top-ups as you don't let your air run out totally & the pressure will drop as the tank gets lower...

no that's OK take it to your local dive shop to be re-filled or paintball supplier/shop as if the date on the tank has expired they might not fill it at a dive shop unless you tell them it's for surface use only they normally charge about £3.00 to fill it or if you manage to get to a tournament field fill it up there but check with the air supplier first if it's OK...
