[Choose #3] But expect that there are some companies that don’t do this regularly
|
|
|
[Choose #4] That is why I own my own tanks.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I believe my LDS maintains their equipment on a very regular basis.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] at our shop I am the one who services our gear and I see to it that all gear is regularly maintained. I expect others to do the same but you just never know.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] i always assume it hasnt been serviced ever !
|
|
|
[Choose #4] I ask, but I realize in poorer countries it is cheaper to forge documents than do inspections or fix problems found during inspections.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] I don’t use rental gear other than tanks and lead!
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I would trust my LDS and a couple others.I seen some bad rental stuff at others
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I feel that my LDS does a good job of maintaining their equipment and one thing I do know is that if the cylinders are not within test dates, no one will fill them (at the dive parks)

[Choose #3] what proof, there will be a viz inpection sticker with date on the tank. Most shops do their own viz inspections, so hopefully they are not just putting sticker on with no inspections.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I only rent tanks and weights, I look for the hydro stamp and vip sticker but that is all.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] I teach my students how to check out their equipment before leaving a shop, and even provide them stuff with subtle problems that they need to detect. I also tell them that responsible shops encourage such scrutinity, but if they don’t go elsewhere.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] Have only rented tanks and always check for vis and hydro.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] I always check because it is my "life support system for the dive". If this offends the shop that I am renting from then I figure that I should rent somewhere else.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] Never take anything for granted, you are the best one to look out for your safety.
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I assume the equipment is NOT maintained. I rent as little as possible (tanks & weights only). In many countries there is not tank testing, so pay your money and take your chances (or two tanks).
|
|
|
[Choose #3] That is nuts you should list the facility!
|
|
|
[Choose #3] )n foreign travel you are always using their tanks and I have seen stuff that would never pass here, deep dings and leaking neck seals.
