Importance of Regular Equipment Checks

I’ve been in underwater welding for over a decade, and one lesson I can’t stress enough is the importance of regular equipment inspections. Just the other day, I found a minor leak in my hose that could have led to significant issues on-site. Consistent checks not only enhance safety but also ensure precision in our work. What are your go-to safety protocols before diving?
