When should dive equipment be inspected?

The appropriate time to inspect dive equipment is before each dive and at regular service intervals as recommended by the manufacturer. This practice ensures that all equipment functions properly and maintains safety standards. Inspecting before each dive allows the diver to identify any potential issues that could compromise safety underwater. Regular service intervals, based on manufacturer recommendations, help address wear and tear that occurs over time, ensuring that equipment is reliable and effective.

Regular inspections contribute to the longevity of the gear and enhance the overall diving experience. The specific focus on both immediate checks and scheduled maintenance supports the responsible use of diving equipment and aligns with safety protocols in the diving community.
