In the last 33 years of performing professional equipment service we have observed that many of our customers have been keeping their old buoyancy compensator devices and regulators far longer than their originally designed life span should allow. Even car tires will not last forever, and these older machines CAN and DO FAIL, usually during your vacation trip.
The maximum life span has been established as 7 years by the major diving manufacturers.
We have 2 questions. #1. How old is your BCD? #2. How long can you tread water?

According to all of the diving industry experts, and repair technicians: Dysfunctional life support products like Buoyancy devices, obsolete Regulators, and questionable dive computers 5 to 7 years old should be replaced. We have found many "thrifty" guys still using old junk, and this is NOT a good thing when you depend on this piece of life support equipment in deep water. The older BCD air cells, dump valves, power inflators, and hoses will wear out and fail, and will no longer function safely. Many older BCD's and regulators are not cost effective to repair with the serious shortage of OEM replacement parts due to many suppliers moving operations to China.
Our equipment Tec's have also found some older brand name BCD's units with some serious defects.
We have been working with several of the better equipment companies like Aeris and Eagle Z1 to developed
affordable trade in programs offering our customers the opportunity upgrade to newer, safer, and more comfortable equipment. Just bring in your old equipment for a FREE technical evaluation!
Do not delay any longer, or you could be stuck with a old bald flat tire of a BCD, a regulator without replacement parts, or a "play dead" dive computer. Why be forced to pay full retail prices for your replacement machines when you can just trade them in and upgrade it? Trying to resell used life support equipment always involve a lot of
problems and risk. This could be your last chance to get a good deal on new gear with a factory warranty!

EQUIPMENT UPDATES & CHANGES FOR 2008

Product Resale Notice: Several equipment companies like Aqualung, SeaQuest, Suunto and others regulate advertising prices, and forbid internet sales to maintain profit margins. Some companies have even developed a restrictive method of preventing product owners from re-selling their own used personal products to individuals with accurate specifications! Several equipment owners have been prevented from even advertising these brands of products on EBay. Those attempting to do so will have their EBay ads removed by Net-enforcers (a for profit company under the guise of copyright infringement) This has caused the product resale value on some of this equipment to drop like a stone, and the only outlet remaining is the pawn shops for pennies on a dollar. We suggest you contact the United States
Department of Justice directly if you feel that your personal rights of ownership have been affected, or are a victim of restraint of trade.

DACOR UPDATE: All authorized Dacor regulator trade in programs have now expired. Dacor has notified us and voided all factory lifetime warranties and free parts programs on older model regulators made in the USA. Therefore, we will no longer be able to provide any free factory parts or labor warranty service on any of these products. However, out of warranty service is still currently available, but only for as long as our limited in house supply of factory replacement parts allow. We encourage customers to perform serious internet research before purchasing any new, or older Dacor life support products. It appears that the new owners of Dacor Corporation are reducing, and or
eliminating Dacor dealerships, and that the remaining new Dacor products are currently being liquidated by direct internet discount sales.
