Happy Groundhog's Day = Spring is coming!

Yes, the most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania popped out of his hole this morning and made his weather prediction: an early spring! We could not be happier about this revelation as it is 23 degrees Fahrenheit here today with snow on the way!! The start of spring also means the start of local dive season.  Our favorite local dive sites will soon come alive with activity above and below water.

Whether you will be getting ready for the local watering holes to open up or if you are preparing for a warm weathered diving destination to escape the chilly winter, it is a great time to have your scuba gear serviced.  Annual maintenance keeps your gear running at peak performance, which results in better air consumption during your dives.  Even if you haven't used your gear since the last service over a year ago, you should have it serviced as the o-rings and seals inside the regulators can corrode and/or dry out when not being used.

Additionally, most manufacturers require an annual maintenance to keep their warranty active. BCDs and regulators require annual maintenance and inspection, dive computers need their batteries checked or changed, and tanks require an annual visual inspection and a hydrostatic certification every 5 years.

The scuba professionals at Aqua Adventures will be happy to service your gear or answer any questions you have about about scuba gear maintenance. Call or stop in today!
