Cleaning Scuba Gear With An Ultrasonic Cleaner
Since SCUBA gear is the life support system of the diver, proper maintenance is vital. Regulator first, second and alternate source second stages, dive computers, depth and temperature gauges, compasses and other equipment need to go through yearly scheduled maintenance to ensure proper function and avoid accidents from happening. One of the main reasons for yearly maintenance is the cleaning of all the moving parts like hose connectors, inflators and regulator parts to make sure that they work well and do not get stuck. Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is used by many if not all dive shops for this procedure.
SCUBA equipment is exposed to a variety of substances and environments that can cause build-up of number of different residues. Most dives are done in the ocean which exposes the gear to seawater. Seawater contains a number of different salts in different concentrations, all of which can cause clogging or jamming of the equipment. Additionally, some of the minerals in seawater are quite corrosive and can not only eat into the parts, but also cause additional clogging and jamming due to rust build-up and deposition of other by-products of corrosion. Confined water dives in swimming pools also have the potential of harming the equipment as chlorine and other disinfectant additives to the pool water can cause corrosion to metal parts and deterioration of plastic and rubber parts through oxidation.
Sand, silt and bacteria can leave additional residues in the sensitive moving parts like the BC low pressure inflator, or the first and second stage and alternate source second stage of the regulator. Ultrasonic cleaners induce microscopic bubbles that implode forcefully in a cleaning solution. The process, called cavitations, blasts dirt, grease, rust, and grime away from any kind from hard surfaces placed in the solution. The ultrasonic cleaning process is more efficient and gentle to the equipment than most other cleaning processes. Since ultrasonic cleaning occurs on every surface in contact with the liquid, it also has the advantage of reaching inside complex parts and crevices inaccessible by manual cleaning.
Many manufacturers request dive equipment ultrasonic cleaning of all parts for yearly maintenance of regulators, inflators and other pieces of equipment. However, ultrasonic cleaning is also a great way to get rid of any residues from salt water or silt after each dive to prevent corrosion from happening.
Ultrasonic cleaners can be pricey, but there are some inexpensive models available. The price basically depends on the way the ultrasound equipment is designed and manufactured. All well made equipment carries at minimum a 2-year warranty. More sophisticated equipment utilizes a microprocessor-controlled ultrasound generator. However, this level of sophistication is not necessarily required for basic cleaning applications. Even relatively low cost units work great for cleaning diving equipment at home.

How do dives use scuba gear underwater?
Cause I want to be one.
When you go diving, there are four primary systems that you need to work with. The first, the exposure system, is quite simple- there's just your wet/dry suit, gloves, hood, boots etc, as you will need depending on the temperature of the water and the depth that you plan to dive down to.
The second system is the buoyancy control system- you have a weight belt, of varying mass depending on your body weight. You just clip that on before you dive, around your waist, and you shouldn't need to touch it again during the dive unless there's an emergency and you need to go up to the surface as soon as you can- then you use the quick release lever to undo it and ditch the weight belt so that you ascend.
In the buoyancy control system, you also have a BCD vest full of air over your wet suit; you put that on before you dive, and then you can add air inside it from your tank, or vent air from it, by using two buttons on the end of a tube that comes off it. More air will make you more positively buoyant (you start floating up), and less air will make you negatively buoyant (you start sinking)- the aim is to be neutrally buoyant, so that you are going neither up or down, then you have more control over your movements underwater. This is also more difficult and needs a lot of adjusting since air changes density as you go deeper underwater- you'll need to add more air as you descend, and vent air as you go up.
The third system is the air delivery system, which is also relatively simple- just your tank, strapped to your back, and two hoses coming out of it with a mouthpiece each- your primary and your emergency regulators, which you breath from. There's a button to remove any water from them, but apart from that, they're quite simple.
The fourth system is the information system- gauges to tell you how much air you have left and how deep you are. These are on the end of long tubes, and they're fairly easy to read.
Oh, and apart from that, there's your mask and your fins, but they're also really simple.
The training is fairly easy to get into basic diving; I qualified over a weekend, having done four evenings of theory class before that. It's quite fun though, and a great experience.
