Fast Inspections done in minutes!

In a hurry to go make a dive?  No problem!  Our skilled technicians can visualize and service your cylinder and valve while you wait or browse through the store.

Do you have more than a few tanks due for inspections?  Bring them in!  If you don't have time to wait on-site, we understand.  You are welcome to drop off your fleet of cylinders and pick them up later.

What's a 'Viz' and why do I need one?

A visual inspection is performed annually to make sure your cylinder is properly maintained and safe to use.  A visual inspection is more than simply removing the valve and peeking inside a cylinder.  Our Nautical Adventures technicians are trained to look at every detail of your cylinder and valve from the inside out.  Every time we take a cylinder to refill, our technician will check all stickers and stamps to ensure your inspections and hydro-stat tests are up to date.  We check the exterior as well as interior to look for signs of corrosion, oxidation or rust.  Then we use a small, lighted periscope to magnify and closely examine each thread in the neck of your cylinder to insure your cylinder is free of cracks and debris.

What's included with a visual inspection?

MORE THAN A CYLINDER CHECK!  Every visual inspection also includes a valve service.  When we remove a valve from your cylinder, we replace o-rings, check the handle, spring, nut, burst disk, dip stick and threads to ensure nothing is loose, corroded, or needs a deep cleaning or replacement.  We then lubricate all valves with a chemically inert, oxygen compatible, wide operating temperature range, fluorinated grease before returning it to the cylinder.
