Scuba cylinders need to be hydrostatically tested every 12 months in Australia. When a cylinder is tested it is stamped with the month and year of that service. You have 12 months from the  end of that month before you are unable to get airfills from dive shops. 

At the time of your hydrostatic test your cylinder will be inspected for any damage including rust, pits, corrosion and cracks that may jeopadise the safety of this high pressure air vessel; regulated under Australian Standards.

A hydrostatic test involves pressurising the cylinder with water to usually 5/3 of its working pressure, to test the integrity of the cylinder. Depending on the size of the cylinder determines the limits needing to pass the cylinder; all regulated under Australian Standards.

Scuba cylinders are required to meet Australian Standards. If standards are not met, the cylinder is deemed to have failed and be discarded. 

Using defected cylinders can can serious injury and even death.  

Diveline Scuba Centre is audited every 12 months to ensure what we do passes standards. 

Regulator servicing is necessary as its vital for supplying you air underwater. A regulator is made up of moving parts. Anytime you have parts, components deteriorate. In your regulator, you have o-rings, diaphragms, nuts, connecting hoses - all working under high pressure. Therefore regular servicing is required to maintain good working regulators.

For most divers, diving is conducted in salt water, which gives rise to salt crystals. Salt crystals if not washed out after use, can harden and build up in connections on regulators, make components seize, causing major issues including replacements of whole stages.  

If regulators are not serviced for more than 3 years, chances are you will incur more costs to your next service bill. Reasons for this are o-rings and diaphragms deteriorating, which are replaceable. Nuts, connections and other components seizing.

BCD's

Salt water - if not washed out after use, can evaporate over time and result in the formation of crystals. These crystals can have a detrimental impact on BCD components - especiallly dump valves (crystals can become lodged under diaphragms allowing air to escape and water to get in), low pressure inflator connectors, and zips. Washing both inside and out is recommended.
