The Great 02 Cleaning Debate

[Dsix36]

I think that all bands must be removed and unless I know the tank history pretty damn good, the stickers have to come off too. I have found very small amounts of corrosion under stickers that if left uncleaned would very likely condemn the tank at the next VIP. i know that you can use a pick to probe any questionable areas but removing the sticker is the only way to know for sure. BTW, we do dive in salt water sometimes too and this is much worse than fresh cave water.

Some people will ##### and moan about the cost of new stickers, but diving has never been a poor mans game anyway.
