I suggest that you put a notice on BSAC and any other dive forums. Hope you get it back.

I am assuming the best (It was v busy yesterday) and that it was taken in error.
I did a bit of ranting and raving at Chris (according to his card he is the director) and the staff an I did several laps of the car park looking. People doing shore cover from my club were also looking for it in the water.
On the Terms and conditions, there is a clause about not being responsible for cylinders left for a fill. I will speak to Trading Standards today to try and find out if this is potentially unenforcable. Chris's initial offer was a replacement at trade, but that is £123. I paid £108 for it last Jan from Kent Diving (delivered with a handle). I offered to meet him halfway and pay £60 but he wouldn't accept that. I thought it was a reasonable offer, especially as I would now have to explain where the big yellow thing has gone if I went home without it (luckily I seem to have done just about everything I could so SWMBO wasn't as mad about more 'wasted' money than she could have been - esp as we are going on holiday in 2 weeks and getiting a new bathroom, and some other decorating done which will also need to be paid for)
He said he would ring around the dive schools tomorrow and I agreed to get in touch with him on Weds to see if he had any success.
The bu**er is that the value of a new / replacement cylinder is below my insurance excess, and lower than court fees if I took it to small claims.
I would of thought that he would aceept my offer (at least out of goodwill); but there you go.
In the meantime, if anybody gained a cylinder yesterday, please let me know by PM
I have also posted this on the BSAC forum, Divernet and Conger Alley
