In addition to diving with the local dive centre, we usually take our own tanks so that we can get in plenty of shore dives. Just been told by a dive centre that tanks must have been tested within the previous 12 month period (hydro every three years with visuals each year in between) and that air fills are €9!!! Very expensive.

I thought (obviously incorrectly) that Europe now had a single standard. Is this the same throughout the rest of Spain/Europe other than the UK?

It does. Sadly the dive industry doesn't implement it. Annual O2 cleaning, for example, is only required in the UK.
