Should I get the Mares warranty?

[johnnyscience]

Ok I bought a few regulators from LeisurePro several months ago and have yet to use them.

It seems to state in the warranty that it must be from an authorized dealer, does anyone know if LP is an authorized dealer & they will honor the warranties?

Also I don't even know if I will be able to scuba dive in the next year so they're going to stay brand new... there is no need to have them get the annual inspection is there? Even if only used once or twice in a year is the warranty even worth the extra money needed to put into the yearly maintenance? It might be cheaper just to keep it maintained as needed instead of trying to stay within their warranty requirements which seems to cost a fee by taking it to a Mares dealer for maintenance if I'm not going to be diving that often?

Authorized Dealers - Sales Network - Mares - just add water

It depends where you dive them and how you clean them.
Say if you dive them once in salt water and then do not soak them you might end up with some of the parts stuck.
If you take proper care the reg will likely work fine , the second stage though might leak if the seat breaks in - so you might need to adjust it. In any case with that amount of diving the parts for life thing might not be worth it.
