Does anyone here use a Sherwood Tank Valve? The last two I have
purchased seemed to break rather quickly. Has anyone else had this
problem or is it just my bad luck.
Also, as an unrelated item, does anyone know of a good, reputable dive
shop in the St. Thomas island area?

What breaks?

I have Sherwood 6300 valves on four tanks with roughly 300 dives on each
and no problems.

The 0-ring outlet has given me the problems.

I have about 30 of them. Some are 5+ years old. Never had a problem.
