Getting gear tested?

Trick of the Tail

Anyone any suggestions please as to how I could get my gear tested before Feb 20th?

I'm off on a liveaboard in Egypt then; I had the reg kit serviced by Poseidon last year but haven't used it since, and my BCD hasn't been used for a few years.

I'm not in a club here.

Oh, I'm in Waterford, but can travel!

Cheers

to be honest if you got the regs serviced last year and havnt used them they should be grand . stick them on a cylinder and check them .

as for the bcd . connect it up and check that it stays inflateded and the all the dumps and buttons work .

when you have done both fill your bath and check both in it , bobs you uncle . no extra money spent and you enjoy your hol .

regs are good for 100 - 200 dives . they should get serviced as per manufacturers instructions but every senior diver around will tell ya thats just them covering their arse .

bcds have very little maintance , just do the checks and they be fine
