Well-maintained gear is an essential part of having a fun and safe dive. When we think service we often think about the regulator and BCD, but did you know that scuba cylinders need to be serviced, too?

Scuba cylinders must be visually inspected once a year and undergo a hydrostatic test once every five years. Keeping to a regular service schedule helps keep you and the dive shop employees that fill your tanks safe! If you own your scuba tanks and they're out of service, make sure to bring them in before your next dive.
