Interval between service depends on a lot of things like how often you dive, salt or fresh water, how you care for the regs, where you store them, and sometimes just the luck of the draw.

I do mine when they need it or when it seems like it has been a while. That probably sounds odd, but I keep a pretty good eye on things and try to spot problems before they develop. Not everyone cares to put that kind of effort into it.

The last 'problem' I had was 1st stage creep. I found it before I noticed any change in performance (IP gauge). Get this...it was only 4 months and about 30 dives since the last service at an authorized dealer. If I had not noticed the problem, it probably would have caused some freeflows before the 1yr service interval was up.
