Dive-gear maintenance: keep your equipment for years

Maintaining dive gear is an investment in your safety and your money. Well-maintained equipment lasts ten years or more.

Maintenance after every use

Immediate rinse with fresh water
After every dive in salt water, wash all equipment with warm fresh water to remove salt and algae.

Correct drying
Dry equipment in the shade, not in the sun, to avoid ultraviolet damage, especially to silicone and rubber.

The regulator: mandatory annual service

The regulator is inspected and serviced annually by a certified technician to ensure it delivers air at the correct pressure at any depth.

The buoyancy vest

• Check for any holes after every use
• Wash the inside by pouring water in and moving it around
• Store it partly inflated to prevent the inner walls from sticking

Mask and fins

• Regular inspection of the silicone for cracks
• Replace the mask strap at the first sign of wear
• Split or cracked fins should be replaced immediately
