kidspot:I have not read the whole page yet, but this site http://www.brookes-diving.org.uk/Gear Guide - Maintenance.htm#bcmain appears to have quite a bit of basic gear maintenance suggestions - might be a good place to start.
http://www.sandiegodiving.com/education/items/7.html is another one worth checking out.
