Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean dive gear after salt water?
Soak everything in fresh water for 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Pay special attention to regulator second stages, BCD inflator, and computer sensor areas.
How often should regulators be serviced?
Annually or every 100 dives, whichever comes first. Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain warranty. Cost: $80-150 depending on brand.
How do I store a wetsuit?
Hang on a wide hanger (not wire) in a cool, dark place. Never fold - causes permanent creases. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
