storing new tech equipment for a long time.

[craig chamberlain]

Hi

today i am going to buy full tech gear including 4 regs, wing and bp. i will not be able to use them untill december. would it be a problem to store them in a cupboar for 3 months without using them.

cheers

Not sure what a cupboar is! But there should be no reason why you could not put them in storage for several months. They sit in storage at the ware house and the dive store until your purchase. What is another few months.

The kit will probably be ok... but the skills will certainly deteriorate.

My stuff got stored for years because of deployments. No worries.

I am jealous, I wish I had the cash to go buy 4 more regs and another Bp/wing for doubles! Have fun!! Your stuff will be fine after sitting for a few months.

I'm not jealous at all, new tech gear and not able to go diving?

at least in a cupboard, you won't have to look at it

Or the other option is to send it over the pond to me and I will make sure it gets regular use and does not dry rot setting in a cupboard.

Just make sure that the adjustment screw is set to minimum effort or if its a G250 V second - the purge button is fixed half pressed to releve the pressure from the seat. And store the wing inflated

I've never had a piece of gear sit for three months unused, but I'm willing to bet that they often do in whatever warehouse they live in before they come to me. Shouldn't be an issue.
