SERVICING

When Should You Service Your Diving Gear?

Servicing guidelines vary from brand to brand, but typically the recommendation is to have your gear annually inspected/check-up, with a full servicing every two years (or 100 dives), whichever comes first. BCD Inflators should be serviced annually.

REGULATORS

Don’t have time to get a servicing before your trip? Bring it into us and we’ll make sure you won’t have any unexpected surprises.

We recommend having your regulator inspected every other year in-between full servicing intervals. We will clean, complete a hose integrity check, diaphragm inspection, IP Check, Cracking effort check and pressurized immersion test.

A full servicing is recommended every 2 years unless specified by the manufacturer

A full servicing includes:

* Detailed pre-inspection to determine if there are any abnormalities
* Complete disassembly and inspection for wear and damage on all parts
* All O-Rings, Seats, filters and other required parts are replaced
* Thorough cleaning in the ultra-sonic cleaner/solution.

1st and 2nd Stage Servicing: $99.95

Alternate 2nd Stage $50

**Each stage will require a parts kit, which is not included in the price. Parts kits will range anywhere from $15-$80 per stage depending on brand/model**

Full O2 cleaning on both first and second stage

BCD's

This is labor only, parts kits are additional and may vary from brand to brand.

For liability reasons, if your BCD bladder is found to have a hole in it, we are unable to repair it as this infects the integrity of the bladder and is a serious safety concern.

Gear Servicing: Frequently Asked Questions

Each brand has their own recommended servicing interval, but it typically ranges from 1-2 years or 100 dives (whichever comes first). Be sure to check and see if your regulator has a Parts for Life program. Brands that offer this will provide free parts when you service your regs but only if you service them within the required intervals. Having a regulator that has parts for life can save you $150+ in parts each time you get it serviced!

Have you ever heard the saying “Motion is Lotion?” Well this applies to diving gear as well! Even while your regulator is sitting, the O-Rings can dry out (sometimes even more so when it’s not being used), and seats can wear down. Your regulator is the most important piece of equipment, so give yourself that piece of mind for your next trip and make sure it’s serviced and tuned properly!

BCD’s have far less moving parts than regulators so the maintenance and servicing on them is a lot simpler. We still suggest bringing your BCD in annually at the same time as your regulator so your service tech can make sure everything is working correctly.

There are also a few things you can do periodically to make sure everything is working correctly:

  • Fully inflate your BCD, leave it overnight and ensure it has not lost any air
  • Hook it up to a regulator and tank with air, listen closely for any leaks at the inflator connection. Press the inflate and deflate buttons and make sure the buttons press smoothly and do not stick
  • Be sure to rinse your gear after every dive!

The life of a battery will depend on a variety of factors:

  • What Is the Temperature Of the Water? Cold Water will reduce the life of a battery
  • Can You Adjust the Brightness Of the Screen? Brighter Screens Will Use More Battery
  • Does it Have a Colored or LED Screen?
  • How Often Do You Use the Backlight Function? Backlight will use reduce the life of your battery
  • How Many Dives Have You Done?
  • Does it Turn Off or Stay On while not in use? Computers that turn off automatically are likely to last longer than ones that remain on.

All of these items will affect how long your battery will last. Under normal diving conditions, you should expect your Dive Computer battery to last you at least 1 Year.

Tanks need to be Hydrostatically Tested every 5 years, and Visually Inspected every year. If you are wanting to get your tank filled, your Local Dive Shop will check to ensure both of these tests are up to date prior to filling your tank.

How to Maintain Your Dive Gear

Whenever someone starts accumulating more dive gear they (hopefully) ask about how to properly take care of it. You’ve spent a lot of money on your equipment, and the way you take care of it will decide how long it lasts for!
