| Equipment Care |
Care and maintenance of your dive equipment is an important factor. Dive Buddies are able to offer the following services. |
Hydraulic Testing £20:00 excluding VAT
The hydraulic test period has now been changed from 4 to 5 years. This has been done mainly to bring it into line with standards for testing other industrial compressed gas cylinders. Similarly visual inspection periods have changed from 2 years to 2½ years after a hydraulic test. The new standard doesn't extend the test expiry for cylinders with a current test-due date. In other words, cylinders tested before the new standards came into force, and with either no test-due sticker or a 2-year sticker, will still need their next test at the expiry date of the old 2-year interval test/inspection.
Valve Service £16:00 excluding VAT
It is now a requirement that during any tank service, the valve is also serviced.
Visual Inspection £17:00 excluding VAT(every 2.5 years)
Essentially this test is a detailed visual inspection, both internal and external. Any cylinder that has been subject to impact damage should be pressure tested before use. If in the opinion of the inspector, any of the above criteria are borderline, then hydraulic testing may also be required.
Regulator Servicing.
Servicing of your regulator starts at £28:00 for labour.
