Its betting then going to jail. They put your tank underwater check over it and do some air holding tests and they do some weight testings and things like that its worth every penny.

Go to a local SCUBA or Dive shop, or to a fire house... talk to them... if they can't do it, they sure can point you in the right direction...

Most importantly - People suck.

Pretty sure it's every 5 years for hydrostatic testing; the newer tanks have warning labels on them with the hydrostatic testing date stamped on them.
