I see quite a few older BCs for sale locally by people who became divers in the 1980s and are selling their gear.
People are buying and diving this stuff.
It seems to me that at some point, age alone should be enough to take a BC out of service. They're made out of plastic materials that deteriorate with age. Unlike, say, a regulator, the parts prone to deterioration can't be replaced. Am I thinking too conservatively on this?
