A visual inspection (VIP) is a critical annual check for scuba tanks to ensure they are safe for use. This process involves examining the tank’s exterior and interior for signs of damage, such as corrosion, cracks, dents, or contamination. A trained inspector removes the valve, inspects the threads, and checks for moisture or rust inside the tank. Passing the VIP ensures the tank remains in good condition, while failures require cleaning or repairs. Regular visual inspections help maintain scuba tank safety and longevity.

Hydrostatic testing is a crucial safety procedure for scuba tanks, ensuring they can withstand high-pressure conditions underwater. Required every five years in the U.S., this test checks for leaks, structural integrity, and expansion limits by filling the tank with water under high pressure. Passing the test confirms the tank is safe for use, while failure means it must be retired or repaired. Regular hydro testing helps prevent dangerous failures and ensures divers can rely on their equipment for safe underwater exploration.
