How will it save money servicing costs?

How will it help dive safely?

Air tests detect the following:

Water

This causes Rust to form in the cylinder, faster with nitrox fills.

Cost to Diver Minimum cost , Shot blasting when tested or cleaned.

Maximum cost Cylinder Condemned due to the corrosion at next test / clean.

Diving - this excess water can get into the regulator and cause a free flow. No mater how well the regulators are serviced.

Oil-

This contaminates the cylinder, extremely dangerous for nitrox filling.

Cost -the cylinder must be  decontaminated by cleaning, possibly the regulators that have been used on the cylinder would need servicing to remove the oil

Diving- The air tastes bad, can cause headaches and vomiting, underwater!!

Carbon Monoxide/ Carbon Dioxide-

These don’t cause any problems as far as equipment.

Diving- These gasses are poisonous , effects include headaches, dizzyness, vertigo, difficulty in breathing, unconcousness, black outs.  These All get worse with depth ie deeper you dive the worse the effect.

As a diver you have the right to clean air that is up to standard.

If you pay for your air then the fill station must publicly display their last air test.
