Under the SSI Equipment Service Program, how often should your Delivery System be serviced?

The recommendation for servicing the Delivery System under the SSI Equipment Service Program is every year. This frequency ensures that components such as tanks, regulators, and other crucial elements are maintained in optimal condition, promoting safety and performance during dives. Regular servicing helps to identify wear and tear, prevents potential failures, and keeps the equipment functioning effectively, which is vital for safe diving experiences.

Servicing every six months may be excessive for most recreational divers unless the equipment is subjected to high-stress conditions or heavy use. Every two years might not provide sufficient checks for the potential degradation of equipment, especially if it's used frequently. Additionally, servicing every dive trip could lead to unnecessary logistical challenges and costs. Annual servicing strikes a balance between ensuring safety and practicality for divers to maintain their gear effectively.
