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. |

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. |

| 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. |

Does the tank itself show when it needs to be done? ------------- Video: http://pbvids.gamesxposed.com/files1/RTP.1116548567.wmv - My Automag RT Pro ::: http://boydsters-pics.mypicgallery.com/ - My Gallery ::: |
