I have a couple of questions. First, I took my husbands and my regulators in to be serviced. The guy at the shop said there was serious corrosion and that they are now brass on brass without chrome. He said they are still safe but breath hard. Should I get a new regulator? I have never noticed any problem breathing. I bought it used in 1997 and have used it about 6-12 dives a year since. What is the best way to keep this from happening again? I know my first stage has gotten wet a few times, didn't know I needed the dust cover in for the first year or so I owned it. I went back and reread this section in my book but it was pretty brief and didn't go into many details on regulator care.
Second question, going to Hawaii this weekend. I have always wanted to spear fish. Can I do this there and do you have anyone to recommend to go through for a boat trip? I will be on Oahu for 5 days, than the Big Island for 9 days.
Also, what do I need wetsuit wize this time of year?
Third question, I have lost weight and the BC I just bought is now a little big, mainly where you tighten the shoulders. I had someone add some extra velcro on the waist band so that is OK. How will having a BC a little loose in the arms affect me. I really don't want to have to replace it, I haven't used it yet but bought it used so it's not returnable.
