How often should you take your scuba tank to be visibly inspected by a dive center?
Updated: 9/28/2023
In the US, they recommend once per year.
In Europe, they recommend once every two and a half years (ie. half the time between hyrostatic tests).
My personal view (as a former tank inspector for a dive shop) is that unless you have reason to believe the tank is contaminated, visual inspections are a complete and utter waste of time.
