As I start my research to buy gear, I am curious if folks on the board would give me some insight into the unexpected cost of gear ownership?
I hear people mention you need to regularly maintaining equipment -- which seem obvious. So, on what type of schedule do things like a BC and a regulator need to be serviced? What is the costs of such service if nothing out of the ordinary is wrong?
What are the most likely things to go wrong with a BC?
With a regulator?
Do wetsuits have any special needs other than repairing rips, seams?
