If you have a warantee, the warantee usually requires an annual check up, or the warantee is voided.
If you feel 100 dives is a good time period between check-ups, DIVE MORE!!!

That is a good point for sure.
No warranty left on any of my regulators, they are too old. Actually thinking about getting a new one (Posideon).
Personally I feel 100 dives a year is quite a good amout especially for recreational diving, obviously not for commericial. Looking into it, the $40 dollars or so you pay for labor isn't all that much. If you can find the tools, parts especially it's worth it but it seems like a lot of work to go to unless you are planning on going into business. Ace I'm sure you know but your arent' going to be able to find any sort of insurance unless you are qualified.
The only real impetus besides being in business is so that you can be sure your kit is looked after properly.
I'm also interested in looking after my own regs as my new LDS just can't get it right. They've adjusted the 2nd stage so that at even the smallest suggestion from me, it tries to choke me by punching air down my throat. I've brought it back repeatedly but they just don't "get it", and reset it to choke me again. I've had to dive with my tongue out as a shield from that air. The next nearest LDS (that doesn't look like scuba is an afterthought) is 2 hrs away in Rhode Island or 2 hrs to New York. Any suggestions as to where I can look for training and materials?
Ebay they have parts and manuals. Have you tried shipping it out?
Yes, unfortunately I haven't found any on Aqualung.
Joel, the owner of TDS and a member here, is an Aqualung dealer. His shop is in Arizona, but he is one of the few that I would trust (I service my own.) He is currently down in FL undergoing his cave training, so you might want to give him a few days to respond to you.
