I haven't dove my BP&W (LCD30) for just over a year (not using something else, just not diving at all- silly ). It has been securely stored in a place, dry and averaging around 23, not touched, however is there something that should be checked prior to first dive? (other than leaks perhaps )
Also, on my last dives, I was constantly frustrated with how short the inflator/dump hose was. I could reach it perfectly well, but all the time my hand would be in an akward position to place the buttons. I was flailing around quite a lot down under. What I'm wondering is; can I easily replace this for a longer hose? Have any links to suitable replacements?
And the last question- do you clip your inflator hose to your webbing or something similar to keep it from floating away? With what means do you do this?
Very grateful for any help. Anxious to dive her again
