Company description WELCOME!

There are also the important decisions regarding what gear to use and where to purchase it. We, at Commonwealth Dive, are proud to offer you the training, equipment and service necessary to make your diving career safe and enjoyable. First and foremost, we have a knowledgeable staff of experts that live and breathe SCUBA, just like you. Second, the scuba gear in our store has been hand selected by our staff through actual experience with the equipment and accessories creating one of the best inventories possible.
Let us help you with the scuba decisions you face!
Service Recommendations:
Regulators – Service once a year. Service every 6 months if 100 or more dives per year.
Personal Regulator Service: After each day of diving, the regulator must be cleaned, inspected and prepared for the next use or for storage. As soon as the regulator is removed from the SCUBA cylinder, reinstall the dust cap over the regulator inlet port. This cap is normally attached to the regulator yoke and therefore has been underwater. Be sure to blow out the water in this cap or dry it with a towel before securing it over the inlet port. As soon as possible after diving, the regulator must be soaked in warm (not over 120 degrees) tap water, for a short period of time to remove salt and mineral deposits. The preferred method is to attach the regulator to a SCUBA cylinder, open the cylinder valve and thoroughly soak both the first and second stage regulators. Pay particular attention to directing water into the mainspring cavity of the first stage regulator, the second stage mouthpiece, and the holes in the second stage box top. Depress the purge button several times while the regulator is submerged in water. If no SCUBA tank is available, follow the above procedure, but be very careful NOT to depress the purge button, or leave the dust cap off when the regulator is submerged in water. Failure to do this will result in water entering both regulator stages, which could result in internal corrosion. Shake dry and wipe the regulator`s exterior with a clean cloth. Store the regulator in a cool, dry place with a large loop in the hoses. Do not store in a small regulator bag, as this will damage the hoses.
Scuba Cylinders – Visual Inspection (VIP) at least once a year. All aluminum tanks require an electronic eddy current test at least once a year. Hydrostatic testing is required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) every 5 years.
Cylinder Valves – When an annual Visual Inspection (VIP) is performed on the scuba cylinder, the valve should be disassembled and serviced as necessary.
Buoyancy Compensators (BC’s) – Service inflator and dump valve and check for leaks once a year.
Personal BC Service: After each use, rinse the exterior of the BC thoroughly with warm water. Pay close attention to the push button valves and the oral inflator. Make certain that they are operating freely. Rinse all zippers while moving the slide back and forth otherwise it may freeze shut with salt corrosion. In a saltwater environment, it is extremely important to flush all the salt out of the vest before it dries and forms rock salt. The rock salt will cut the bladder to shreds in a very short period of time. The vest should be rinsed internally with warm water after each day of diving. Depress the oral inflator button and allow warm water to flow into the vest until it is about 1/3 full. Grip the vest by the top with one hand and the bottom with the other allowing water to accumulate on one side of the vest only. Gather all the straps and the oral inflator hose in one hand and move the vest from side to side allowing the water to travel rapidly from one end of the vest to the other.
