I hope it's ok to post this thread here. I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one.
My husband and I got our gear serviced about a year ago. We have nice, pretty-new BCDs. He has a new reg. (Mine is a vintage Mares metal reg that I love too much to give up). We ended up not diving with them (or maybe we did once). We're going to Kauai in a week and trying to decide if it's prudent to bring our gear since it's been over a year since it's been serviced. Are we being too conservative? I have this "but what if the reg's diaphragm is sticky?" etc kind of thoughts.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on whether it's really necessary to service your gear once a year, even if it hasn't gotten wet (or has gotten wet only once). Am I being too conservative?
