Mate of mine had an Apex DS4 First + two seconds and a contents gauge done for £28

I had a DS4 and a TX50 second done for £18

£56 seems a bit steep but it may be down to the price of the spares kit.

Cheers,
Rob.

My cyklon is being O2 cleaned as we speak.

I did ask a centre over near chester and they quoted a very similar price.  I asked Diver Warehouse nad they quoted.......wait for this..........36 squiddies = service 33 and O2 cleaning 3quid.  So very cheap.

Will confirm when I get them back though.

That price is fine. The O2 clean on its own is £15/£20

LMFAO! when did you last buy a poseiden service kit!?

Its fair to say their kits are at the "inflated" end of the cost spectrum.

That's about what I get charged for the annual service, last time done at Divers Warehouse, so Tim there might be some extras to pay for.

I got a mate to show me how to service my regs and bought some O2 grease. Unless i have to replace parts it costs me nothing to service my regs (other than using a tiny bit of 02 grease).

Poseidons are easy to do, the manuals good. PM if you want a copy of them and i'll sort you out.

<Edit>
Here (ireland) it would cost me 90euro ( 61.9917 GBP) per reg to service and seeing as i have 3 regs right now and maybe a fourth this season, it just makes sense to do it myself.

That price is excuding 02 clean and part AFAIRC.

And yes we do get ripped off in ireland.
