Last week, I dropped my regs off to get the annual servicing ( under the "parts for life" program), something that I have been doing each year since I bought them.
Today, I get a call from the tech, while he is servicing them, saying that Scubapro has a new policy, wherein regulators with less than 75 dives since the last servicing, only need the full service ("overhaul") every other year, and on the in-between year, only an "8 point check".
Is he correct? Does anybody have a link to the current /revised policy?
Thanks in advance

GOT IT! (I think) I stink at "searching", but I found it after I started this thread:
CHANGES TO PARTS-FOR-LIFE PROGRAM: - (NEW UPDATE AS OF OCT 1, 2012)
The SCUBAPRO Parts for Life Program has NOT BEEN DISCONTINUED.
All SCUBAPRO regulator owners currently on the PFL Program will continue to receive parts for life as long as they have their gear serviced WITHIN 24 MONTHS or 100 Dives. A consumer who does not meet the requirement of having their regulator serviced every 24 months at an Authorized SCUBAPRO retailer, will no longer be eligible for Parts-for-Life on that associated piece of equipment.
Starting January 1, 2012 one must purchase a new complete set of SCUBAPRO/SUBGEAR equipment: a SCUBAPRO regulator and SUBGEAR or SCUBAPRO BC and Computer from an Authorized Dealer to receive the PFL Program. Any Tech divers purchasing their set of XTEK gear will receive PFL for all of their newly purchased regulators. We have a simple registration form to be filled out, listing all components and serial numbers. They will then be on Parts-for-Life for their regulator (AIR2 or octopus if purchased) associated with that system.
All current regulators on Parts-for-Life and ones sold throughout calendar year 2011 will, of course, continue on the current program.
Is that the current policy??
