As a Cold Northeast diver without a drysuit, I use this time of year to have all my servicing done, so when the season starts your’re the first in the water whether its hydros, vips, regs, bcd, etc...... How bout you???

[Choose #3] I like to get it in at the end of the dive year so it is detailrd of the stuff I didn’t get off after my last dive. It does not let things grow in my LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT all winter.

[Choose #2] Until I found out there are no standards and my local LDS (authorized center) screwed my regs and doesn’t care.

[Choose #1] I’ve made the investment in spare gear so I always have something to dive with. I don’t believe in a dive season I dive all year long.
