Services

We service all of the equipment we carry in house.  Dave Ishmael has been a Certified Equipment Technician for over 20 years, and has plenty of experience in diagnosing any potential issues.  From hydrostatic tests and visual inspections on scuba cylinders, to complete overhauls of regulators, Dave's expertise and sound judgment will steer you in the right direction.  Regulator brands we can service in house include: Aqua Lung, US Divers, Oceanic, Tusa, Sherwood, Dacor (model dependent) and Poseidon (model dependent).  If your regulator is not one of the above brands, we are still able to facilitate the overhauling of your regulator, though it will not be able to be done through in house maintenance.

Why should you have your regulator annually inspected/ overhauled?

First of all, the manufactures recommend it, and for good reason. Even if you are good at general maintenance, the cleaning of your regulator system, you cannot get the regulator clean enough.  Corrosion will always be present and can cause problems, and that corrosion isn't always evident until your regulator is pulled completely apart during the annual service.

If a regulator system has been sitting for a long period of time, many people think everything is fine, as it hasn't been used.  Unfortunately, all the dynamic, moving O-rings inside your first and second stages will take a set from sitting in one position for a long period of time.  When the regulator is pressurized, the O-ring will tend to twist instead of rolling like they are designed to do. The result is leaking and malfunctioning. 

So please consider bringing your regulator and buoyancy compensator in each year for inspection/ overhaul.  After all, this is your life support system during every dive you make.  We want your diving to be safe and comfortable.
