It's not too late to make sure your dive gear is in good working order.  Most of you scuba gear can be cleaned and inspected using common household tools and some common sense.

• Check your Mask and Fin Straps for wear and/or dry-rot. Replace worn items and keep the used ones as back-up's to get you through in a pinch.
• Check to make sure your Scuba Tanks have current Hydro and Visual inspection's.
• Check Tank O-rings for wear. Consider keeping a package of spare o-rings just in case.
• Inspect your Wetsuits  for cuts and tears as they are cheaper to repair if caught early!  Take a look at your Dry Suit Seals as a failure could mean missing out on a dive.
• Check that all port plugs and hose fittings are not loose on your Regulator System. Use care not to over-tighten!
• On your next dive, perform a bubble check by having your buddy inspect all hoses and fittings on your Regulator System while submerged in shallow water.
• Clean and protect your fins and regulator hoses with UV Tech (Available at the Aquatic Center)

Of course, you want to verify that your Regulators have had there yearly service by a qualified service technician! All service technicians at the Aquatic Center have had extensive training by your equipments manufacturer. Bring in your warranty cards to keep your manufacturers warranty in place. The Aquatic Center also offers discounted labor rates on equipment purchased through the Aquatic Center of Rochester. These are the most effective ways to keep annual service costs to a minimum.

Now that you've verified all your scuba equipment is in good working order, your ready for a hassle free and safe dive season!
