I was just curious of the frequency other divers tend to have their BC's inspected and serviced? I have a ScubaPro KnightHawk BC (which I love) and have owned it for about 1 1/2 years with about 30 dives (salt and fresh) done with it. Before a dive trip, I always do a couple of local dives to test all my gear. Do others really have their BC's tested according to manufacturer's recommedations (every 12 months, I believe), or do some settle for every few years? No one wants a dump valve free flow or similar, but wouldn't caring for the BC well, rinsing very well and storing appropriately, then having it completely broken down and inspected every 2-3 be sufficient?
I'm just curious what other divers here do, and appreciate any feedback. Happy diving.
